Can Fungus Permanently Destroy My Hair?

What are the symptoms of bacterial and fungus infections.Can they permanently destroy your hair and leave you with thinning hair?

Some symptoms of bacterial or fungal infection of your scalp may produce (but not all) some of the following symptoms: pain, irritation, itchiness, foul smell, discharge, fever, and hair loss. These are very general and vague symptoms and the main point you should take away is to see your primary care doctor if you are concerned about an infection!

The Internet is a horrible way to self diagnose or self treat medical issues (even hair loss). If you leave infections untreated, you can possibly lose your hair permanently.
