March 16, 201213 yr comment_5477 Depending on how long the lesion has been present, more often than not, you will have hair loss. The hairs in the infected area are dull and brittle and fall out easily. Scrape some of the scale onto a slide and perform a KOH prep and look for hyphae to help with diagnosis of tinea capitus.
