    Glossary Scalp Defects

    abnormalities or damage to scalp's skin and tissues

    Scalp defects refer to abnormalities or damage to the scalp's skin and underlying tissues. These can result from congenital conditions, trauma, infections, or surgical procedures. They may manifest as areas of hair loss, scarring, or irregular skin texture, and can sometimes require medical or surgical intervention to restore normal appearance and function.
