The disease of tinea capitis, with the improvement of living standards, has gradually seen a decrease in incidence. However, if tinea capitis is contracted and not relieved or treated in time, it can lead to serious consequences. There are four types of tinea capitis: pustular tinea, black tinea, white tinea, and yellow tinea. If yellow tinea is not controlled, it can leave permanent hair loss. Both black tinea and pustular tinea, besides potentially causing permanent hair loss, may also lead to other issues.
