Run Vaseline on it before he leaves the coop / every day in the morning. It’s a bit of frostbite. It might clear up or the black spots may make his comb smaller come springs

Can you show us a picture? It could be frost bite if it is on the points of his comb or it could be fowl pox if it is scatered.

Sorry thought the picture went with the post. Here it is. And the fuzz on top is like new feathers. I thought was fungus but wont come off.

How cold is it at night where you live and do you have good ventilation in the coop?

How many roosters do you have?
Is he the bottom of the pecking order?
