    removal and microscopic examination of scalp tissue for diagnosis

    A scalp biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of scalp tissue is removed and examined under a microscope. This is often done to diagnose the cause of hair loss or scalp disorders, such as alopecia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. The biopsy can provide detailed information about the health of hair follicles and surrounding skin, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
