The scalp is the skin on top of the head on which hair grows. The scalp is a frequent area for a fungal infection in children known as tinea capitis or, more commonly, scalp ringworm. The scalp is also a prominent area for the very contagious disease lice (pediculosis capitis). Hair loss, dandruff, and inflammation of the hair follicles (folliculitis) can also affect the skin on the scalp.
