Tinea capitis, commonly seen in children, is a superficial skin disease related to fungal infections. There are four types of tinea capitis: Firstly, the type called "yellow tinea," caused by the yellow tinea fungus, is characterized by yellow scabs on the skin with hair emerging through the center, potentially forming atrophic scars. If left untreated, permanent hair loss may occur. The second type is "white tinea," which appears as grayish-white, scaly patches. The third type is "black tinea," presenting with red papules and black dots at the broken hair shafts. The last type is "pus tinea," exhibiting symptoms of purulent folliculitis.
