    "definition": "A fungal infection of the scalp and hair, also called scalp ringworm, caused by dermatophyte fungi of the genera Microsporum and Trichophyton, most common in children, causing scaly patches, hair loss and sometimes a boggy inflamed mass called a kerion; forms the registry aliases name by causative species such as Microsporum canis and audouinii, and related infections such as tinea barbae of the beard and tinea favosa or favus. Tinea capitis usually needs oral antifungal treatment, since creams alone do not reach the hair roots, and it can spread between people and from animals, so diagnosis and treatment should be guided by a clinician.",
