    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.

The biopsy can provide detailed information about the health of hair follicles and surrounding skin, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
