Tinea capitis is caused by a fungal infection. The fungi that cause tinea capitis include Trichophyton epidermidis and Trichophyton rubrum. When ringworm occurs, it starts with intense itching, which occurs between the fingers and toes, and becomes more intense at night. When ringworm occurs, attrition can be found in the skin of the fingers and toes, with localized skin flaking and ulceration, and sometimes even hardening of the cuticle, such as when the skin of the hands and feet hardens and even cracks, and scaling of the skin can be found. The hands and feet can be coated with topical antifungal medications such as ketoconazole cream for topical use, and oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole or ashwagandha can also be taken. In addition, it is important to keep the area clean and dry for the treatment of tinea capitis and not to scratch or massage the area.
