Abstract
T. capitis is the most common cause of scaly scalp in infants and preschool children followed by Seborrhoeic dermatitis. Psoriasis, P.R.P and atopic dermatitis are rare causes of scalp scaling at this age group. Presence of localized yellowish scales of the scalp in the first two years of life is highly suggestive of Seborrhoeic dermatitis. However, T. capitis cant be excluded. T. capitis should be considered in scaly scalp patients at age group from 26 years old regardless sex or residence. T. capitis should be suspected in any localized scaly lesion of the scalp. Cultural method is a very important method in diagnosis of Dermatophyte infection even if KOH preparation is negative.
