5. Dandruff
As ringworm can infect the entire body, as mentioned it can also affect the scalp. Not only can the rash cause the head to flake and itch and your hair to fall out, in addition, but you may also notice that you have what looks like dandruff on your scalp. This is also caused by the scalp beginning to flake. When you scratch your head, the flakes may get even worse.
One of the ways to help ease this symptom is to use a bit of tea tree oil on your scalp. This can help alleviate the itching. It is a healthy and natural product that is a disinfectant and antimicrobial. This means that it can kill the tiny fungi that cause the symptoms of ringworm. Tea tree oil is also nourishing and moisturizing to the skin, which can help repair any of the damage that is done by this fungus.
