A barber says he has seen 'loads' of young men coming to him with fungal infections.
A barber has called for higher standards in the hair industry after seeing "loads of cases" of young men catching ringworm from haircuts.
Mr Taylor has worked in the industry for 34 years and believes infections like ringworm and folliculitis are spreading as more men get the popular skin fade style haircut."To get that effect you've got to use the foil clipper, but the problem is it takes in hair and it needs to be thoroughly cleaned."
He described it as "itchy" and "irritable" and after speaking with his pharmacy he found out that it was ringworm. According to the NHS ringworm is a common fungal infection that can be treated with anti-fungal creams but if left untreated can lead to hair loss. Mr Taylor wants the government to regulate the industry and has urged the public to be cautious when they go for a haircut.Gareth Penn, the registrar at the hair and barber council, agreed with Mr Taylor and is calling for a "mandatory register for those who wish to trade as hairdressers or barbers".Currently it is only a voluntary register and Mr Penn believes this could lead to more than just dirty haircuts.
