Fungal infections
Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), the most common fungal infection,
produces irregular balding areas, scaling, and erythematous lesions.
As these lesions enlarge, their centers heal, causing the classic ringshaped appearance. Surrounding the balding areas are broken scalp
hairs. When they break off at the scalp surface, hairs resemble black
dots. Other findings include pruritus and thick, whitish nails.
