Furthermore, this scalp infection is contagious and commonly involves the topmost layer of skin. Microsporum and tricophyton species of the dermatophyte fungus are the main causes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common way to develop this infection is by coming into contact with others who have it. Once we come into contact with this fungus, it can transfer to our scalp pretty easily. Items belonging to the infected individuals, such as their clothing, and their comb, can transfer this infection to those who use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalp fungus can also be transmitted from animals to humans. Additionally, places regularly used by the public that are also high in moisture, such as shared showers, can cause fungi to grow and thrive. As a result, people who frequent these places can easily get this disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Symptoms\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Symptoms?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how can we tell if we have this infection?

This results in the formation of bald patches and makes the scalp look inflamed and irritated. It also causes a scaly texture on the scalp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scalp ringworm sometimes causes severe inflammation called kerion, which can result in blisters and pus, and can even cause scar tissue. This condition can be worrying as it may result in irreversible hair loss, also referred to as scarring alopecia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is always a chance that the hair regrows once the scalp fungus has been treated.
