1. There is a fundamental difference in the cause of the disease, tinea capitis is infected through haircutting tools or contact with animals, and it is highly contagious. The onset of psoriasis of the head is related to mental trauma, emotional stress, trauma, surgery or internal medication, etc., and it is not contagious.

2. The initial lesion of tinea capitis is a small red papule around the hair shaft, which gradually expands to the surrounding area, forming one or several desquamative plaques. Symptoms of psoriasis on the head begin as red papules or maculopapular rashes, which gradually expand or merge into patches, with bright red or dark red as the standard.

Once there are signs of onset, timely symptomatic examination**, early detection and early detection**.

The more common symptoms of psoriasis are dandruff, film, and bleeding. Most people start with a rash the size of a pinpoint or mung bean, often on the scalp, back of the hands, and on the front of the legs. Then these small rashes will slowly grow or join together.

The surface of the rash is white flakes, and after the dandruff falls off, a thin film will appear on it, and it may bleed if you touch it slightly.

In addition, some psoriasis patients will also have joint symptoms, the more common manifestation is that the small joints of the fingers and toes appear red, swollen, painful, and deformed and stiff over time.

Tinea capitis, as the name suggests, is a superficial fungal infection that affects the hair and scalp. Generally, it can be divided into three types: jaundice, vitiligo, and tinea nigra. Tinea capitis is more common in children, is highly contagious, and its onset is associated with contact with animals with ringworm.

If you raise and play with cats and dogs that suffer from ringworm, it is easy to cause tinea capitis.

Tinea capitis is usually transmitted by direct or indirect contact with people with capitum or diseased animals, especially when the scalp is more susceptible to infection due to trauma caused by shaving the head, so haircuts are one of the most important ways of infection.

In general, after the spores of tinea capitis reach the scalp that is susceptible to infection, they will germinate in the stratum corneum of the epidermis, and then slowly elongate, branch and separate, and accumulate and multiply a large number of fungal hyphae at the mouth of the hair follicle. The hyphae reach into the hair follicle, penetrate directly into the hair a few millimeters below the scalp, and continue to grow downward within the hair until the keratinogenesis zone.

The main reason and difference between the two diseases is whether there is a fungal infection, if the exfoliated cells of the local scalp are found to have a fungal infection, then it is tinea capitis, and if there is no fungal infection, can it be considered that it may be psoriasis.

Tinea capitis is a disease caused by a fungal infection that can cause abnormal symptoms such as itching and dandruff in the head, and ketoconazole ointment and other medications can be used.
