Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Image. I can see pearly white, grouped, raised bumps on beard area. This is molluscum contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus, Molluscum Contagiosum Virus.
Lesions commonly present as asymptomatic, pearly white, dome shaped lesions with some of them showing central umblication.
It can spread by autoinnoculation e.g shaving may facilitate spread in males. It can also be passed on to other family members including children through skin to skin contact or through common pillows, bedsheets, towels, hankerchiefs etc therefore treatment is often sought by 2 or sometimes more affected members in family. Personal use items should be separate to reduce the chances of spread.
Nevertheless, Molluscum is not a serious disease by itself and may resolve on its own.
Lesions of Molluscum contagiosum can be ablated either with Electrocautery Or Radiofrequency cautery Or Co 2 Laser. This is the preferred mode of treatment as all lesions can be ablated in a single treatment session.
Alternatively patients also have an option of using topical imiquimod 5% cream once daily at night; response may take 3-4 weeks.
I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.
