Patient's question:
How to treat tinea capitis, recently there has been some tinea capitis on my head, and it has spread to other areas, such as the face, excluding the hands. I used a ballpoint pen to draw a circle to contain it, and some of it has died, but the marks are still there, looking particularly bad. I’m too embarrassed to go out.Doctor's answer:
Tinea capitis is a complete fungal infection of the scalp and hair. It can be divided into several types, such as tinea flava, tinea alba, or tinea nigra. It can be treated with antifungal medications. In daily life, unsoiled hats should be boiled, and proper hygiene practices, such as using a compound ketoconazole or performing regular scalp washing, should be adopted. If symptoms do not improve after one to two washes per week, oral antifungal medication can be taken for relief.
