    fungal infection invades inside hair shaft causing breakage

    Endothrix refers to a type of fungal infection where the fungus invades the interior of the hair shaft. This condition is often associated with certain species of dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton tonsurans, and can lead to hair breakage and alopecia (hair loss). For professionals, recognizing endothrix infections is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, as these infections typically require antifungal medications.
