My daughter has been diagnosed with tinea capitis and has significant hair loss. I have taken her repeatedly to her dermatologist over the past 4 months and was told it was sebborheic dermatitis. I finally took her out of the state to a pediatric derm and was told it was a fungus and she is now being treated after a scalp culture. Can tinea develop in 2 weeks that casue balding, lesions, lymph nodes (clavical), and pustules?

 Yes indeed,certain type of fungi especially of animal origin do cause florid symptoms at a short time.But take heart,responds well to treatment with oral antifungals.Best wishes.
