Treatment of black ringworm on the scalp in children, these methods must be mastered

Children are very prone to scalp ringworm, mainly because they are easily infected. When children show this symptom, parents should not be too anxious. Today, it is not difficult to treat scalp psoriasis. As long as the correct method is used, it can be effectively eliminated.

1. Eliminate the source of infection: Cure all tinea capitis patients and sick livestock, this is the most important thing. Tinea capitis not only invades the scalp, but also invades the roots of hair follicles, so it is more complicated to treat than other ringworms. Parents should pay attention to whether their children often scratch their scalp. When children show symptoms such as itchy scalp, increased dandruff, and darkening hair, parents should pay attention and take their children to see a doctor in time.

2. Cut off the transmission route: If a patient with tinea capitis is found, appropriate isolation measures should be taken. For example, children with tinea capitis should not go to kindergarten or elementary school for the time being, and should resume collective life after being completely cured. You should also avoid spreading the virus to family members or other children at home. For children diagnosed with tinea capitis, their pillowcases, clothes and hats should be disinfected by drying, scalding or boiling.

3. Protect susceptible people: Every child is susceptible to tinea capitis at this time of year, so tinea capitis often spreads in kindergartens or primary schools. Prevention of tinea capitis does not rely on medication, but on strengthening publicity and education to help children develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay more attention to children's head hygiene and wash their hair frequently; do not exchange hats or towels with other children; prevent cross-infection during play among children, and if any suspicious situation is found, seek medical treatment in time.

4. It is summer now, the temperature is gradually rising, the climate is humid and hot, and children are active and playful, so sweating on the head is inevitable, which is conducive to the growth of fungi on the scalp. In addition, when children are playing, they already have fungi on their hands. They may also be infected with scalp fungi from other children who already have tinea capitis. They will scratch unconsciously, causing cross-infection of fungi. If parents do not pay attention at this time and excessive scratching causes damage to the superficial skin of the head, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause more serious consequences such as secondary infection. Therefore, tinea capitis can easily cause mutual infection among children and should not be underestimated.
