The remedy for ringworm of the scalp is supposed to be washing the hair with common foodstuffs in daily life, such as vinegar, onion or fresh ginger, etc. However, there is no scientific proof of the effectiveness of the remedy, and there is no guarantee that certain foodstuffs will lead to localized allergies and infections, so it is recommended to use regular treatment to treat ringworm of the scalp. The treatment for tinea capitis is to control the growth of the fungus. Since tinea capitis is mainly caused by fungal infections, topical products containing salicylic acid, tar or selenium sulphide can be used to treat tinea capitis. Additionally, shampooing the hair with 2% ketoconazole lotion on a consistent basis is also therapeutic. In addition to topical medications, oral medications for tinea capitis can be used such as ashwagandha, itraconazole and terbinafine. However, regular liver function checks are needed. Small doses of corticosteroids can be added in the acute stage. It is recommended to consult the hospital and use the medication under the guidance of the doctor.
