YES: however reqirs direct observation and bacterial infection. This can be a double infection like tinea barbae- fungal "bumps", usually on face, scalp or neck areas. Must be observed and should be cultured. Your doctor can prrscribe pills or a cream that contains both antifungal cream and hydrocortisone.
