    During the treatment of ringworm of the head, the body should be examined now and then, especially the neck, for any small patches of tinea circinata, and it is important not to devote all the attention and treatment to one or two patches; for while these are being cured, if proper precau- tions be not taken, other small spots, where the disease has been overlooked in its incipient stage, make their appearance; and the medical attendant may find when he has cured the first patches, that he has several more to deal with; therefore, the whole scalp should be constantly examined during treatment.
