Kerion (inflammatory Tinea capitis) Another cause of sores or lesions on the scalp is inflammatory Tinea capitis. It is caused by Tinea capitis which is medical term for yeast of the skin on the scalp. Unlike folliculitis, kerion is influenced by fungal infection. It is identified by pustules with tender areas.
It is caused by a fungus and not by a worm, as the name suggests. Another common form of scalp fungus is Pityrosporum ovale. The P. ovale fungus is normally present in small amounts on our scalp, but when the fungus experiences overgrowth, it causes the dry, itchy flaking we commonly refer to as dandruff. Symptoms Symptoms of a scalp fungus can vary from reddened, itching, painful circular patches to excessive dry, itching, flaking all over the scalp.
