Fungal infection of the scalp (Tinea capitis) could be difficult to eradicate and often requires systemic antifungal medications for several weeks. The fungus is spread by direct contact with infected patients or normal carries (individuals who carry the fungus, but are not infected) or through sharing personal objects such as hair styling devices, towels, or hats. Tinea capitis could be transmitted from dogs or cats (Microsporum canis) and rarely through contaminated soil (Microsporum gypseum). Any good and caring dermatologist should be able to manage your problem and they have more experience than I do with fungal infections of the scalp. Surgery is not indicated here.

These people are looking for real help. Telling them to see a pediatrician or a dermatologist are not the answer.
And how do you expect me to supply any real help without a medical history? I can’t. This is why I suggest going to a doctor where you can sit down in-person to be evaluated.
