    Glossary Scalp Scars

    areas of fibrous tissue replacing normal skin after scalp injury

    Scalp scars, also known as scarring on the scalp or scalp scarring, are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after an injury or surgery on the scalp. These scars can result from trauma, burns, infections, or medical procedures and may lead to permanent hair loss in the affected area due to damage to hair follicles.
