GlossaryEosinophils (Eosinophilic granulocytes)

white blood cells combatting parasites and involved in allergic reactions

Eosinophils, also known as eosinophilic granulocytes, are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the body's immune response, particularly in combating parasitic infections and in allergic reactions. They contain granules filled with enzymes and proteins that can be released to fight off pathogens, but their overactivity can also contribute to inflammatory conditions such as asthma and eczema.

The person is experiencing sudden hair loss for six months and treatments like dutasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins are not working. Another person suggests the hair loss might not be androgenetic alopecia but could be telogen effluvium or an inflammatory condition.
