Question: 1 / 400

Are all forms of tinea contagious?

Yes

Tinea refers to a group of contagious fungal infections that primarily affect the skin, nails, or scalp. Since it is caused by a fungus, it can be easily spread from one person to another through direct contact with infected skin or items, such as towels or combs, that have come in contact with the fungus. Thus, all forms of tinea are considered contagious and the correct answer is A. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because tinea is not only contagious in humid conditions or through direct contact. It can also spread through indirect contact with contaminated objects or surfaces. This is why it is important to practice good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items to prevent the spread of tinea.
