GlossaryPeribulbar Inflammation

swelling around hair follicle bulbs causing potential hair loss

Peribulbar inflammation refers to the swelling and irritation of the tissues surrounding the hair follicle bulb, which is the part of the hair follicle located deep in the skin where hair growth begins. This condition can lead to hair loss and is often associated with autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own hair follicles.
