Favus (Latin for "honeycomb") or tinea favosa is the severe form of tinea capitis, a skin infectious disease caused by the dermatophyte fungus Trichophyton schoenleinii. Typically the species affects the scalp,[2] but occasionally occurs as onychomycosis, tinea barbae, or tinea corporis.
The word favid is more used than French word favus, which is close to the Latin etymology.[citation needed]
