Folliculitus barbae
Tinea
Sycosis vulgaris
Pityriasis

The correct answer is: Folliculitus barbae

Folliculitis barbae is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the chronic bacterial infection of the bearded areas of the face. This condition is characterized by inflammation and infection of the hair follicles, commonly caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. It can result in redness, pustules, and crusting in the affected areas. The other options are incorrect: - Tinea refers to a group of fungal skin infections, commonly known as ringworm. - Sycosis vulgaris is a chronic deep infection of the hair follicles in the bearded area, often caused by a staphylococcal infection. - Pityriasis is a general term used to describe several skin conditions characterized by flaking and scaling of the skin.
