Brief Answer:
Tinea Barbae...
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting!
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
According to your image and to your symptoms I can say that you suffer from Tinea Barbae. It is a superficial dermatophyte infection and it is caused by a dermatophyte fungus.
To treat Tinea Barbae you can take oral antifungal medications such as Terbinafine.
Before starting the treatment you should confirm the diagnosis first. To do that you need a skin culture and a physical examination by your dermatologist.
Ask me for anything unclear.
All the best.

Lamisil(Terbinafine)...
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for writing back.
In these cases I recommend Lamisil(Terbinafine) 250 mg, 1 pill daily. Continue this treatment for 4 weeks and you will get a good effect.
But before starting this treatment you must contact your dermatologist to discuss about it, because it is your treating doctor the one who determines the treatment.
