Female scalp fungal infection pictures

What is Fungus? I believe most people are very familiar with it. Bacteria seem to be everywhere in our daily life, just like friends of human beings, following us closely. What will happen if women's hair is infected with bacteria? Regarding hair bacteria, we will talk about it in detail below.

We all have such a feeling. During the travel, in the mountains of southern China, you often come across a bunch of fluffy green on the side of the road, or in the alpine meadows and sunny islands, you will encounter colorful fungi. These are all bacteria decorating the beauty of nature. In the rainy and humid season in rural areas in summer, you will find that the clothes, shoes and hats between the walls of the house will produce green hair-like substances, all of which emit a peculiar smell. These are the bacteria in our daily lives.

In the early days, bacteria were often classified as plants because they were very similar to plants. With the development of science, more than 100,000 species of bacteria have been discovered. Therefore, scientists classify fungi as the fourth category after animals, plants, and bacteria, that is, fungi.

Compared with plants, bacteria survive by decaying and absorbing nutrients from surrounding substances. They exist as endoparasites or saprophytes, prefer warm and humid environments, and reproduce quickly. Without chlorophyll, plant photosynthesis cannot be carried out. Chlorophyll is a friend of mankind, but it also brings a lot of inconvenience to mankind.

As friends, bacteria are also a part of the human food web. So far, more than 200 species of edible bacteria have been discovered, such as Oyster mushroom, Oyster mushroom, Hericium erinaceus, black fungus, white fungus, bamboo fungus, etc. Condiments in human food, such as soy sauce, vinegar, sauce, some alcoholic beverages, and bread products, are also inevitably fermented and brewed by bacteria. Many drugs commonly used to save human lives, such as penicillin, streptomycin, cephalosporin, and griseofulvin, are also produced by bacteria. There are nearly a thousand kinds of Chinese medicinal materials that are directly derived from bacteria, such as Poria cocos, wild Ganoderma lucidum, Coix seed, Cordyceps sinensis, etc.

Bacteria can also cause plant diseases, such as corn smut, rice blast, and sweet potato black spot. In 1854, a fungal epidemic broke out in Europe, destroying almost all potatoes and causing huge losses to the rural economy.

As a nuisance to humans, bacteria can also take lives. For example, some harmful bacteria can cause immediate death if ingested, such as toad mushrooms and stinking yellow mushrooms. Aflatoxin caused by bacteria can directly cause liver cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, etc. in humans.

Although there are many types of bacteria, some of which are not only deadly but can also cause disease, most of them are not pathogenic, and only about 50 types are human pathogens. These 50 types of pathogens are divided into two categories based on the severity of the damage they cause to humans: one is the superficial bacteria that penetrate into human skin and damage mucous membranes, internal organs, bones and even the human brain; the other is the superficial bacteria that invade the stratum corneum of human skin, fingernails and hair.

Among these two types of bacterial infections, infection of hair is common, because hair is located at the largest end of the body, exposed to ultraviolet light and dust for a long time, and if the acidic environment of hair is damaged, the ability of hair to inhibit bacterial growth will be reduced, resulting in high morbidity, easy infection and easy outbreak.

The key pathogens of candidal hair infection are dermatophytes, including Trichophyton, Trichophyton, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton verrucosum, Keratophyton, and Diematosporum. Among tinea capitis, the most common types among children are yellow tinea capitis, black tinea capitis and white tinea capitis. These three types are also the most contagious. Once yellow tinea capitis occurs, if it is not treated in time, it will cause permanent and inevitable lifelong hair loss to the patient.

Among the bacterial infections of hair, the more common one is Pityrosporum, also known as lipophilic bacteria. This type of bacteria feeds on plant oils and lives inside the hair. It prefers hair with abundant plant oil metabolism. Excessive reproduction of this type of bacteria will cause more serious dandruff, causing countless troubles for people who pursue beauty!
