What It Is

Scalp infections are caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses, leading to symptoms such as redness, itching, pus-filled bumps, hair loss, or crusting. Common scalp infections include fungal infections like tinea capitis and bacterial infections such as folliculitis. If untreated, they can spread and cause significant discomfort.
