Yes, scalp fungus needs treatment. If left untreated, it can spread, cause hair loss, and lead to infections. Doctors usually recommend:

Antifungal shampoos – Like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide.
Oral antifungal medications – Such as terbinafine or griseofulvin for severe cases.
Keeping the scalp clean and dry – To prevent further growth.
See a doctor for the best treatment option.
