Abstract

Tinea capitis, common in prepubescent children but rare in infants, is a significant public health concern. Lack of consistency in its presentation in infants as well as variation in geographic location can complicate its diagnosis, necessitating a thorough diagnostic workup plan in patients with high index of suspicion.
