A member asked:

My brother has head fungus but it doesn't look like ringworm. it looks like red patches in random shapes. is it contagious? how do i avoid it forever

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tinea capitis: If your brother is being treated properly with oral & local antifungal medications, he should not be contagious after 48 hrs of starting the treatment, don't share towels & sheets, his should be washed in hot water, dried in dryer, & if possible ironed. I hope that answer your questions. Good luck.
