Tinea capitis is an infectious disease of the head caused by a fungus such as Trichophyton rubrum or Trichophyton epidermidis. Tinea capitis is often accompanied by intense itching, and the scalp can be scaly, and if it is severe, it can even cause hair loss. When treating ringworm, it is important to keep the head clean and dry, and to remove all hair from the head. You can apply antifungal medication, such as ketoconazole or econazole cream, to the area where ringworm occurs, and you can also take oral antifungal medication, such as itraconazole, for treatment. When ringworm occurs, antifungal treatment must be adhered to for more than 2-4 weeks to more effectively inhibit the recurrence of the fungus. It is also important to avoid scratching and massaging the area when ringworm occurs to avoid self-infection of ringworm.
