Tinea capitis is a highly contagious skin disease. If you are affected by tinea capitis, it is recommended to choose shampoos containing antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole shampoo. This disease is caused by a fungal infection and must be treated promptly. In addition to selecting the appropriate shampoo, you can also combine oral medicines and topical treatments. Diet should be light, avoiding foods that are overly stimulating or "fa-wu" (likely to exacerbate symptoms).
