Prevention
To help reduce your child’s chance of getting tinea capitis, take the following steps:
- Shampoo your child’s hair regularly.
- Don’t allow your child to share headgear, brushes, or combs.
- Wash towels, clothes, and any shared items used by an infected person to prevent spreading it to others in the household.
- Take your pets to the veterinarian for treatment if they develop skin rashes.
