GlossaryNoninflammatory Alopecia

hair loss without scalp redness, swelling, or irritation

Noninflammatory Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs without any signs of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, or irritation of the scalp. This type of alopecia can be caused by factors like genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions, and it typically results in gradual thinning or shedding of hair without the presence of scalp inflammation.
