Next, I will explain to you one of the situations that may occur during the baby's growth process. What should I do if my baby’s head is peeling?

Tinea capitis is divided into three types: yellow tinea capitis, white tinea capitis and black dot tinea capitis according to the pathogenic fungi and clinical manifestations. This disease is widely prevalent in my country, mainly in rural areas and remote mountainous areas. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to a large amount of prevention and control work carried out nationwide, the disease has been eliminated or controlled in many provinces and cities, and the incidence has been significantly reduced.

Tinea capitis is difficult to treat successfully with topical treatments alone because topical treatments have difficulty reaching the depth of hair follicles. In the long-term prevention and treatment work, the senior pioneers of dermatology in my country summed up the comprehensive prevention and treatment method of shaving, washing, applying, taking and boiling. Shaving: Shave the diseased hair once a week. Wash: Wash your hair once a day. Apply: Choose appropriate antifungal drugs such as 5% sulfur ointment, azole or acrylamide topical preparations and apply them externally 2-3 times a day. Oral antifungal drugs: Children should be given the drug according to their age and weight. Boiling: Boil and disinfect the patient's contaminated hairdressing tools, hats, pillowcases, etc. in time. In addition, do not forget to deal with sources of infection such as sick animals at the same time.

Tinea capitis occurs all over the world, especially in underdeveloped countries and regions. It is mainly transmitted through direct contact with patients and sick animals (cats, dogs, sheep), and can also be transmitted through indirect contact with contaminated barber tools, hats, headscarves, etc.

Tinea capitis is particularly contagious, so parents must teach their children not to wear other people's hats, wash their hair regularly, and maintain good personal hygiene to prevent tinea capitis. Also, when your baby is young, try to use your own hairdressing tools when taking him out for a haircut. Don't let your baby come into contact with sick pets. Everyone must do a good job of prevention.
