Tinea albuginea, also actually called ringworm, is a type of fungal infection of the scalp. This ringworm mainly manifests as white scales on the scalp and produces itching. For ringworm, it is usually treated with antifungal medications, most of which can be taken orally with itraconazole, usually 1 pill a day for about 3 weeks. You can also use topical antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole shampoo, which is usually given once every 3-4 days, and topical antifungal creams, such as meclizine cream or paregoric cream. While using medication, you need to pay attention to local disinfection, pay attention to hygiene, and try not to eat spicy and stimulating foods.
