Question 5

"Geriatric" relates to old age, and "alopecia" means hair loss or baldness. So geriatric alopecia refers to baldness associated with old age. The other options: flaky scalp is related to dandruff, teenage vitiligo is a skin condition affecting teenagers, and excessive hair growth is the opposite of alopecia.

Ringworm (tinea) is a fungal infection, not caused by worms, mites, or bacteria. It affects the skin, hair, or nails. So the correct type of infection for ringworm is fungus.

Answer:

old age baldness
