What is the common name for ringworm of the scalp?

Tinea corporis
Tinea capitis
Tinea pedis
Tinea cruris

The correct answer is: Tinea capitis

Ringworm of the scalp, also known as tinea capitis, is a fungal infection that affects the hair and scalp. This condition is commonly seen in children and is highly contagious. While tinea corporis, tinea pedis, and tinea cruris are all fungal infections, they specifically affect different areas of the body (the skin, feet, and groin respectively) and not the scalp. Therefore, they are not the correct common name for ringworm of the scalp.
