Understanding Tinea Capitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Tinea Capitis is caused by a type of fungus called dermatophyte. The fungus thrives in warm and moist environments, such as the scalp. It can be contracted through direct contact with an infected person or indirectly through contaminated objects such as hairbrushes, combs, or hats.

1. Symptoms of Tinea Capitis

The symptoms of Tinea Capitis can vary from person to person, but commonly include:

• Itchy scalp

• Red or inflamed patches on the scalp

• Scaling or flaking of the scalp

• Hair loss in patches

• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
  
  

2. Diagnosis of Tinea Capitis

Diagnosis of Tinea Capitis can be done through a physical examination of the scalp and a fungal culture test. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Treatment of Tinea Capitis

Treatment for Tinea Capitis typically involves antifungal medications, which can be taken orally or applied topically. It's important to complete the full course of medication as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before treatment is finished. In severe cases, oral medications may be necessary, and a doctor may need to monitor liver function.
