    GlossaryTissue Damage

    harm to body's tissues affecting function and structure

    Tissue damage refers to harm or injury inflicted on the body's tissues, which can include skin, muscles, nerves, and internal organs. This damage can result from various causes such as physical trauma, infections, chemical exposure, or autoimmune reactions. In the context of hair and alopecia, tissue damage to the scalp can disrupt hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss.
