Tinea albuginea is a clinical type of ringworm caused by Microsporum canis infection, which usually occurs more frequently in children. In the early stages of the disease, patients develop red papules on the scalp that appear in clusters and spread in all directions, forming distinctly round or oval patches with grayish-white scales. Patients do not only have one round plaque, but also have the same skin lesions in the surrounding area, and they occur in several patches at the same time. In the area where the skin damage occurs, there is hair breakage, and the stumps are covered with visible sheaths of bacteria.
