“…Sharp and blunt trauma have been shown to predispose the scalp to dermatophyte infection. 17,18 Hair oils may promote the transmission of the disease, 19 but their precise role has not been determined. To our knowledge, only one other study, 15 published in 1968, has evaluated the role of hair care in patients with TC.…”

Sometimes inoculation of the fungus is associated with trauma [33]. In cases in which the method of transmission is unclear, healthy adult carriers have been hypothesized.…”
