What Are the Treatments for Scalp Fungus?
One of the most common forms of scalp fungus is tinea capitis, also known as ringworm of the scalp. It is caused by a fungus and not by a worm, as the name suggests. Another common form of scalp fungus is Pityrosporum ovale. The P. ovale fungus is normally present in small amounts on our scalp, but when the fungus experiences overgrowth, it causes the dry, itchy flaking we commonly refer to as dandruff.
