    Hair Follicle Dystrophy refers to a condition where the hair follicles are structurally abnormal or damaged, leading to impaired hair growth or hair loss. This can result from genetic factors, autoimmune disorders, or external damage such as trauma or harsh chemical treatments. The dystrophy disrupts the normal hair growth cycle, often causing thinning or patchy hair.
