How is a large piece of tinea-like white dandruff on the child's head to return a responsibility?

Tinea refers to a chronic infectious skin disease that occurs on the scalp, commonly known as "dysentery" and "alopecia".

Tinea capitis is a head skin disease caused by dermatophyte infection, often accompanied by scalp itching. Skin metabolism on the human body surface is a natural process, which takes about 30 days to complete a metabolic cycle. Almost everyone has dermatophytes on their scalp, and a small amount of dermatophytes is harmless. When the weather changes or the human body changes hormones due to stress, a large number of sebaceous glands gather in the epidermis of the head, providing a good growth environment for dermatophytes. The reproduction of dermatophytes accelerates the metabolism of scalp cells. Because tinea capitis is caused by dermatophyte infection, the best treatment is to control the growth of fungi. Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life.

Fungal infection of scalp (tinea capitis)

Tinea capitis is an infection of skin and hair caused by fungi, which is a kind of enzyme bacteria. Although infected with fungi, the ulcer on the skin will appear enlarged ring, but it is different from the ulcer caused by parasites.

Fungi can be infected by direct contact, or by using hats, combs, hairbrushes, rubber bands or hair styling agents contaminated with bacteria. Some cases are also infected by animals such as cats and dogs, but they are rare. Tinea capitis will appear within one week to four months after infection.

Symptoms of tinea capitis:

Fungal infection can have several different symptoms, most of which are white scales like dandruff. Using scalp shampoo will reduce these scales, but they will not disappear completely.

Fungal infections are usually accompanied by itching, occasional odor and swollen lymph nodes behind the neck. Fungi can cause hair loss, and excessive scratching can lead to a small amount of redness, pain, ulcers and purulent secretions.

Fungi that cause hair infections can also infect other parts of the skin and spread through children's scalp or close contact, especially family members.

Ulcers in other parts of the body are round, red and swollen, with small protrusions at the center of the circle. If left untreated, fungi can still spread for months or years.

Treatment:

Oral drug

Unlike skin infections in other parts of the body, dandruff must be properly handled. Oral drugs can be used for treatment, because fungal infection will have adverse effects on hair roots, which ointment can't achieve.

Reduce scalp

Many doctors prescribe medical shampoos (such as Se 1sun, Nizoral) to prevent transmission, and these shampoos should be used twice a week.

Prevention:

Because tinea capitis can be transmitted through hair or other objects, the use of these objects should be strictly avoided.

If a family member or close friend suffers from severe dandruff, please consult a doctor, because they may have been infected or are in the period of infection.

If your pet has skin diseases, you should see a vet immediately.

Go to school:

After receiving treatment, children with tinea capitis can go back to school or child care center for classes, but they should avoid using comb appliances with other children.

You can tell the school or child care center about your child's situation and let them make arrangements to prevent other children from being infected.

Other questions:

Cutting short hair or shaving dandruff is not helpful for tinea capitis.

After the treatment begins, there will be a brief rash occasionally. If yes, consult a doctor, because it may be an allergic reaction caused by fungi, not drugs.

It is important to keep taking medicine until the doctor tells you to stop. Because even if tinea capitis gets better, fungi may still exist.

Blue top spray specially made a lengthened nozzle for patients with tinea capitis, which directly penetrated into the hair and sprayed the medicine on the scalp. This is simple, easy and fast.
