    GlossaryInflammatory Hair Loss

    inflammation damages hair follicles, causing thinning or bald patches

    Inflammatory hair loss refers to hair loss caused by inflammation of the hair follicles, often due to autoimmune conditions, infections, or other inflammatory skin disorders. This inflammation can damage the hair follicles, leading to thinning or bald patches. Conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planopilaris, and discoid lupus erythematosus are common examples where inflammatory processes result in hair loss.
