Where beard may be itching to some extent? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where beard' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'may be itching to some extent?' is the wordplay.
'to some extent?' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'to some extent' mean this).
'CHIN' is hidden within 'may itching'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chin that I've seen before include "Inch (anag.)" , "Outstanding jaw part" , "Point of the jaw" , "Could be a double feature" , "Punch to the face" .)
