First, tinea capitis mainly transmitted by direct or indirect contact with patients or sick animals, especially when the scalp is more easily infected by trauma such as shaving, so hairdressing is one of the ways of transmission. However, fungal infection may not always cause tinea capitis, which is closely related to the body's resistance to fungi. Most adults have strong resistance to fungi, but children are weak, so tinea capitis is more common in children.

Second: it is common in children, but it can also be infected in adults. The typical lesions were disc-shaped eschar of tinea lutea the size of soybean, with hair penetrating through the center. After removing the eschar, there were bright red moist erosive surface or shallow ulcer below. After healing, atrophic scar was formed and permanent alopecia was left. Yellow scab thick, often prone to bacterial secondary infection, a special odor, consciously itching. The disease often appears dry, withered and curved. Tinea flava can invade other tissues outside the scalp, causing onychomycosis, tinea corporis, etc.

Hairdressers should do a good job in isolation and disinfection of hairdressing tools, and try not to damage the scalp during hairdressing. Children's heads should be checked regularly and new patients should be treated immediately to prevent transmission. The common pathogens in China are Trichophyton schlegeli, Microsporum ferrugineum, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton purpureum and Trichophyton ampullatum.
