Tinea capitis is one of the most common skin diseases, and it can be very harmful to the patient’s body and seriously affect his or her normal life. However, there are still many people who do not know much about this disease. What causes tinea capitis? The reason for ringworm is that 1. Ringworm is transmitted through contact. It is easy to get infected with tinea capitis by wearing public slippers in public baths, wearing patients’ shoes and socks and gloves, and using public bath towels. 2, in addition, because the damage is not serious, patients are often not conscious of the symptoms, often do not pay attention to it and do not seek medical attention in a timely manner therefore the lesion is often prolonged. The reason for the widespread infection of tinea capitis may be due to the fact that Trichophyton rubrum or flocculent epidermis often forms arthrospores within the dermis, which can resist a harsher environment and survive for a long time and has the ability to infect others, and in addition, Trichophyton rubrum tends to cause thickening of the stratum corneum and invasion of the hair, which is not easily cured and is prone to recurrence. Because ringworm is so prone to recurrence, many patients give up on treatment after one or two failed attempts, not realizing that a worsening ringworm can cause more harm if it is not treated. It is not only the physical pain, but also the damage to the external image caused by the damaged skin. What are the dangers of ringworm 1. Ringworm symptoms can also lead to infections in other areas. If not treated aggressively, scratching can easily lead to fungal infections in other parts of the body, such as ringworm and ringworm of the head. More seriously, scratching can lead to local bacterial infections that can develop into lymphangitis, cellulitis, and dermatitis, which can have endless consequences. 2. Ringworm and nail fungus can cause itching and pain in severe cases, and although it does not cause significant discomfort in mild cases, it can cause low self-esteem when you are in public places such as swimming pools and gyms. 3, ringworm and gray nails are contagious and will inevitably affect the health of your family, so prevention of tinea capitis should not be taken lightly. Because patients do not pay enough attention to it, not only is it difficult to cure and easily cross-contagious, but serious fungal infections of the feet are also closely related to systemic diseases such as diabetes and vascular diseases. 4. Fungi are extremely vital and can survive and remain virulent for more than a year on objects such as hair, finger (toe) nails, and dander that are detached from the living body. Therefore, the dander shed by a patient with tinea pedis is a vector of infection. If you use a footbath, towel, or shoes and socks used by a patient, you can easily contract tinea capitis.
