How can tinea capitis be treated to eradicate it completely?
To achieve a radical cure for tinea capitis, it is first necessary to consider the extent of the condition. If the affected area is not very large, then topical medications may suffice. Common choices for antifungal topical medications include Terbinafine Hydrochloride Cream, Luliconazole Cream, Oxiconazole Nitrate Cream, or Ketoconazole Cream. If the tinea capitis is progressing and there is significant damage to the hair in the affected area, oral medication may be required for treatment. However, liver and kidney function tests should be conducted prior to this. If liver and kidney functions are normal, options include oral Itraconazole Dispersible Tablets, Terbinafine Hydrochloride Tablets, or Fluconazole Capsules. If the local hair condition is severe, it may be necessary to timely shave the head while ensuring cleanliness and hygiene of the scalp during treatment.
