Thank you for your time!Īnswer: Tinea capitis (TC) or scalp ringworm is a common dermatophyte infection of the scalp in children. Please let me know your take on this as the Dermatologist said the water would not affect hair loss but from what I’m reading this fungus can be in water pipes or damp places. So…where did this come from and is it contagious? How is it treated? She was concerned as she lives in a recreational vehicle (RV) that she may have a problem in there or from her boyfriend who lives in a place where the water is really stinky and she has showered there. She continued to lose large amounts of hair and is still losing it! Her pathology came back as Fusarium species. Well the Dermatologist finally told her to stop taking the Griseofulvin that the GP had her on and said it was Alopecia areata. I told her maybe it was Ringworm (Tinea Capitis) as I have seen it before in a class I took in Cosmetology. Question: My friend has been to a dermatologist and a family Doctor due to the fact that she was losing hair in large areas of the scalp.
