I do not think a medication for your foot or a fungus can impact the hair on your scalp. Topical steroid on your foot should not affect male pattern hair loss. If there is long term / high dose skin applications with significant steroid absorption into your body, there might be a connection. Be sure […]

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 […]
There is an association between dandruff (from seborrhea) and a fungus. Some people with dandruff seem to have a fungus called tinea versicolor (otherwise known as pityriasis versicolor), a condition which causes patches to develop on parts of the body, like the scalp, and many professionals believe that there is an association between the fungus […]
First, try to find out how the equipment is cleaned between clients. It should be soaked in a solution that is sold to the salons for this purpose. Don’t relate it to how much you pay your hair dresser, as anyone that does not properly clean their equipment can spread a fungus.
I can only tell you what is not (fungus or ringworm). I cannot diagnose your daughter’s condition on the Internet without any examination. I would take her to see a dermatologist so that doctor can take the next step in the diagnosis. She may need a biopsy rather than skin scraping. There are many differential […]
A fungus spreads from person to person. A hat worn by a person with a fungus could transmit the fungus as the hat is shared with another. Fungal infections love warm, moist environments and if you sweat from the hat that is carrying a fungus, you may get it. Depending on the fungus, hair loss […]
It seems the fungus was serious enough to cause hair loss. I would give it a good 6 months to a year before the hair grows back. Generally, it should grow back if the underlying infection has been treated.
It sounds like you have some serious issues. I would follow the recommendations from the doctor who is treating you. It is impossible for me to give you any medical advice over the Internet, as I am not your doctor. I can only give general opinions as a doctor. I do not know what “black […]
Your question is not clear. If you want to know about the causes of fungal disease in the scalp such as ringworm (a common scalp fungus in children), it is most often spread from animals. The animals themselves are immune to the disease, but act as carriers. It can spread from person to person as […]
You need to see a doctor for hair fungus and be on a medical regime. It often takes weeks.
Clearly this requires a medical doctor to make a diagnosis and then start a treatment program. If your friend does not want to do this and follow the advice given to her, I can not help her over the internet. Even if I could, I would need to examine her, test hair scalp for fungus […]

Nerves and stress Perhaps you are on the right track of considering therapy. Phentermine is a potentially dangerous diet medication and you should be under close medical supervision. […]
Treatment of scalp fungus could take a long time and even after treating it, you need to wait a few months for the hair follicles to generate new hair. My recommendation to you is to stick to the recommendation and treatment plan of your dermatologist.
Fungal infection of the scalp (Tinea capitis) could be difficult to eradicate and often requires systemic antifungal medications for several weeks. The fungus is spread by direct contact with infected patients or normal carries (individuals who carry the fungus, but are not infected) or through sharing personal objects such as hair styling devices, towels, or […]
The appearance of a fungal infection may reflect: other diseases that you have (example could be HIV positive people) conditions on the scalp that change (wet conditions, sweat, gels or topicals) certain medications may make you prone to these like those which treat heart and kidney transplant patients a change in climate (people who travel […]
