A red ring on your child’s scalp with broken hair may be a sign of tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), a common fungal infection that spreads through close contact or shared items. Unlike dandruff or lice, it often causes circular, scaly patches with hair loss. Prompt medical evaluation is important, as treatment usually requires prescription oral antifungal medication. While waiting, use good hygiene, avoid sharing hats or brushes, and wash bedding and clothing in hot water. Reassure your child that the condition is common and treatable. With early diagnosis, proper treatment, and careful hygiene, most children recover completely without lasting hair loss.
