How scalp fungal infection leads to hair loss?
Due to scalp fungal infection, the hair follicles are impacted from where hair growth is possible. With this, there is inflammation in the body which can make the body’s immune system affected.

Here are the following situations which can trigger this like:
- Inflammation leads to swelling & redness as well as other hair loss types are there like scarring alopecia, and androgenic alopecia

Treatment for scalp fungal infection
If the hair loss has reached the stage that no other treatment will work then a hair transplant is the best choice. For the persistent baldness the doctor will suggest any of the 1 methods from the two mentioned below:
- Follicular Unit Extraction
During FUE the hair follicles are extracted one by one from the back of the scalp and then transplanted to where hair growth is less.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation
During FUT, the strip of hair graft is extracted from the scalp back as there the impact of DHT is extremely less.
