Tinea capitis is a dermatophyte infection of the scalp (scalp ringworm).

Treatment:

Anti-fungal medications, taken by mouth, are used to treat the infection.

Keep the area clean. A medicated shampoo, such as one containing selenium sulfide, may reduce the spread of infection. Other family members and pets should be examined and treated, if necessary.
