Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Exothrix refers to Dermatophyte infections of the hair that infect the hair surface. This is in contrast to Endothrix, where a Dermatophyte mainly invades the hair shaft cell. Using an ultraviolet Wood's lamp, endothrix infections will not fluoresce whereas exothrix infections will.
