Neutrophilic refers to the presence or activity of neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting infections. In medical contexts, it often describes conditions or responses where there is an increased number of neutrophils, such as in inflammation or infection. For example, a neutrophilic response in the skin might indicate an underlying bacterial infection or an inflammatory condition.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 1 month ago

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.
