Not the same as ringworm.

I don't have its name handy, but Nizoral shampoo can fix it for you.
Nizoral is expensive but it may help.

Putting protein on hair is not as useful and eating well and getting the protein that way. Also MSM which is found in some arthritis remedies today, is very nice for hair and nails. It provides sulfur which the hair needs. (esp important if you don't eat egg yolks which typically supply it for us).

Another thing to look at is zinc. Poor zinc levels impact hair alot. Some drugs like Depakote and ACE inhibitors for example deplete zinc. Estrogens do too.
A good one to try is OptiZinc by Source Naturals ..it is easy on the stomach and not expensive. One a day is plenty for most people.
