Scalp fungus and comb

2019-10-23 13:49:22
If we have scalp fungus. Shoud we avoid to comb all over head. Because when we brush the infected area and then move the comb to other parts of head that infection will spread all over the head. Note that there is no lesion or pus in the infected area. There are only yellowish flakes.
