Please help !! Rooster has white growths on comb!!

[Lovin Our chickens]

Hi everyone , something weird is going on with my rooster big boy . He is 14/15 weeks old and i noticed a blk spot on his comb the other day then after closer examination it looked like a wound and dried blood so I thought nothing of it but just last night I noticed white spots or growths on his comb just on his comb and maybe one spot on his wattles . Not sure what the heck this is . Can anyone shine some light on what this may be . I checked the rest of the flock and so far nobody else has these spots. I may have to get a better pic but so far this is what I have .

Do an on site search on 'favus' and see if that is what you are dealing with.

I'm guessing frostbite.

Does it look like this?

Here's some more info:

Sorta although more whitish some areas look grayish . The lowest the temp has gotten is 35 degrees here in southern louisiana so not sure if it's frostbite . But then again idk they have a heater in their coop

Is it just on the edges? hard to tell from this pic.

Yes just the edges for as I've noticed

I'll need to go look again and I'll get a better pic , it may be ringworm or whatever i just don't see it on the other chickens yet but I need to know if i gotta quarantine him before it does spread . It started with what looked like a cut so maybe some bacterial infection idk what all chickens can get

Try posting with good photos of the white spots, to "Emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread

That is dry fowl pox. No treatment necessary. He should recover in about 2 to 4 weeks. It's a virus, most commonly carried by mosquitoes. But it is highly contagious, and very likely that the rest of the flock will also start to show symptoms over the next few weeks. Once a bird contracts pox, they will not get it again.
