    TLDR Young horses are more prone to a fungal infection causing hair loss and skin redness.
    Dermatophytosis in horses, primarily caused by the fungus T. equinum, led to symptoms ranging from mild to severe hair loss and erythema. Horses under 2 years old were more susceptible to this infection. Diagnosis could be made through clinical inspection, direct examination, fungal culture, skin biopsy, and molecular methods. The review aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of this disease.
