A member asked:
Hair loss from telogen effluvium. stopped washing it cuz i hate seeing it fall out. does not washing hair cause any fungus? it does feel softer

No: Scalp fungus is extremely unusual as you mature from adolescence on. You will not get scalp fungus. What is the precise cause for your problem? How bad is it? What has the Dr told you?
