Can I wash my hair frequently if I have ringworm?

Tinea capitis is not serious, but it is not too mild either. This disease can recur and may even be transmitted to other people or other parts of your skin, so it is most important to wash your hair frequently after the onset of tinea capitis. Also, do not use skin care products randomly when washing your hair; you should wash your hair with clean water.

Steps/Methods:

1. Tinea capitis is a very common skin disease in life, which is mainly caused by fungal infection. However, this disease is also contagious. If you do not pay attention to personal head hygiene, or do not pay attention to the classification and use of items such as towels and washbasins, you can easily be infected. After getting this disease, you must check and treat it in time to prevent the disease from worsening and causing other complications.

2. After getting tinea capitis, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination immediately. The diagnosis can be confirmed through skin fungal microscopy or scalp examination. After the diagnosis, use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Do not use medication blindly. Washing your hair with vinegar has a certain therapeutic effect on patients with mild tinea capitis, but if the condition is serious, washing your hair with vinegar cannot completely cure it, so you should not blindly rely on it.

3. Patients with tinea capitis can use anti-fungal drugs for treatment, such as compound camphor cream, neomycin fluocinolone cream, miconazole nitrate cream, black snake itching pills, wet poison clearing capsules, doxepin hydrochloride cream, crotamiton cream, as well as itching granules, fat-removing and hair-growing tablets, triamcinolone acetate ointment and other drugs, the therapeutic effects of which are particularly good.

Note:

Patients with tinea capitis should also take preventive measures during treatment to avoid infecting others. They should use towels, washbasins and other items separately, maintain a light diet to prevent getting inflamed, and avoid smoking and drinking excessively.
