	Tinea information Dr Blaines' tinea experts
		Tinea results from fungi known as dermatophytes invading the dead cell component of skin, nails and hair.
		Most tinea can be effectively treated using over the counter antifungal creams (such as Tineacide which kills 99.9% of fungus on contact), however some more severe cases may require treatment with oral antifungals.
		Tinea capitis and tinea unguium are also treated with oral antifungals as topical treatments do not penetrate the hair follicles or the nail.
