“…Malassezia furfur is strongly implicated as an etiological factor in dandruff due to its scalp lipase activity, which induces pro-inflammatory cytokine production and subsequent inflammation 27 . Conversely, Trichophyton rubrum , a fungus, causes Tinea capitis, a condition marked by itching, redness, and potential hair loss 28 . The exploration of natural products as potential avenues for promoting health and well-being is steadily increasing, largely driven by the recognition of their bioactive phenolic metabolites.…”

Dandruff, a common scalp disorder characterized by flaking dead skin, is often treated with conventional topical products. However, limitations exist due to potential side effects and high costs. Therefore, searching for natural, cost-effective solutions for dandruff and hair loss is crucial. Rosemary herb and neem tree, both cultivated in Egypt, possess well-documented anti-inflammatory properties derived from their rich phenolic phytoconstituents. This study formulated a standardized combined extract of rosemary and neem (RN-E 2:1) into hair gel and leave-in tonic formats. This extract demonstrated superior efficacy against Malassezia furfur (a causative agent of dandruff) and Trichophyton rubrum (associated with scalp disorders) compared to the conventional antifungal agent, ketoconazole. The combined extract (RN-E 2:1) also exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, the suppression of iNOS expression is considered concentration-dependent. Quality control verified formulation stability, and ex-vivo studies confirmed effective ingredient penetration into the epidermis, the primary site of fungal presence. Remarkably, both formulations outperformed the standard treatment, minoxidil in hair growth trials. These findings highlight the potential of natural extracts for scalp and hair health.

“…Microsporum canis and Trichophyton tonsurans account for the majority of cases of tinea capitis, 1 typically transmitted through animal care and human contact. Tinea capitis caused by T. rubrum is relatively rare, making it challenging to estimate from the patient's life history and is often discovered in severe cases 2 . Consequently, initial lesions are not well‐documented, and the clinical picture is vague.…”

“…Tinea capitis is a common condition among children, nevertheless, it has been unexpectedly described in newborn [36][37][38], and adults [32]. The increasing of adult tinea capitis is probably linked to population aging and immune system modifications induced by diseases such as malignancy, diabetes mellitus, long-term use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressant [111].…”

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, joint), mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides, and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical pictures is attributed to complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene, aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance, species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions.
