Tinea capitis is the clinical term for a fungal infection involving the scalp. Typically, if the fungus is adequately treated the hair will grow back. In rare cases, the fungus can get down into the hair follicles and cause enough inflammation that scarring occurs. Unfortunately, that may lead to permanent hair loss.
Yes, hair will grow back once the fungal infection is treated.
