HELP: White crusty comb and face not laying eggs

[Sawyerhens1]

My chicken has had this white crusty comb for a while and she isn’t laying eggs. She doesn’t have any other symptoms I can see. What should I do?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Looks like she may have Favus(Ringworm). It's a fungal infection of the skin, which can effect us humans as well.
Athletes foot cream containing Clotrimazole will kill the fungus.

I will try that. Are my other hens safe? If she doesn’t have that, is using that cream safe for her?

Favus is contagious, but curable.

The cream is safe even if she doesn't have it.

Miconazole cream will treat Favus as well.
