    Glossary Skin Tumor

    A skin tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue on the skin, which can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). In the context of hair loss, certain skin tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, can affect the scalp and disrupt hair follicles, potentially leading to hair thinning or loss in the affected areas. Key distinguishing characteristics of skin tumors include their appearance, size, and growth rate, as well as any associated symptoms like itching or bleeding. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and preserve hair health.
