I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. White piedra is an uncommon yeast infection of the hair. Several species of a fungus that lives in soil or dirty water can cause white piedra. Piedra is the spanish word for stone. White piedra appears as white or light brown stones that loosely attach to the tip of a hair shaft and may group to form clusters. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
