    fungus causing scalp infections and hair loss

    Trichophyton violaceum is a type of fungus that primarily causes infections of the scalp, known as tinea capitis, leading to hair loss and scaling. It is a dermatophyte, meaning it thrives on keratin in the skin, hair, and nails, and is often transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated objects.
