    Hair Follicle Damage, also known as Follicular Damage, refers to the harm or injury sustained by the hair follicles, which are the small structures in the skin responsible for hair growth. This damage can result from various factors such as physical trauma, chemical exposure, infections, or autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata. When hair follicles are damaged, it can lead to hair thinning, hair loss, or even permanent baldness if the follicles are severely affected.
