    body's immune response to injury or infection causing redness and swelling

    Inflammatory processes refer to the body's natural response to injury or infection, where the immune system activates to protect and heal tissues. This involves the release of chemicals and immune cells that cause redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the affected area. For professionals, understanding these processes is crucial as chronic inflammation can lead to various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
