    injuries that break the skin's surface

    Cutaneous wounds, also known as skin wounds or dermal wounds, refer to any injury that breaks the skin's surface, affecting the epidermis, dermis, or both. These wounds can result from various causes such as cuts, abrasions, burns, or surgical incisions, and they initiate a complex healing process involving inflammation, tissue formation, and remodeling. Proper care and treatment are essential to prevent infection and promote effective healing.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present.
