Title: Favus: A Chronic Fungal Infection Affecting the Skin and Scalp

Favus is a rare and chronic fungal infection caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii, primarily affecting the scalp but also occurring on other parts of the body. It is characterized by thick, yellowish crusts (scutula) that can lead to scarring and permanent hair loss if left untreated. Favus is more common in regions with poor hygiene and can spread through direct contact or contaminated objects. Early diagnosis and antifungal treatment are essential to prevent severe complications.
