    GlossaryBody Hair Involvement

    extent to which body hair is affected by a condition

    Body Hair Involvement refers to the extent to which body hair, as opposed to scalp hair, is affected by a condition or treatment. For example, in the context of alopecia, it describes whether hair loss occurs on areas like the arms, legs, chest, or back, in addition to the scalp. This term is important for both diagnosis and treatment planning, as different patterns of hair loss can indicate various underlying causes or responses to therapy.
