GlossaryInflammatory Conditions

body's immune response causing redness, swelling, and pain

Inflammatory conditions refer to a group of disorders characterized by inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or infection. This can include redness, swelling, pain, and heat in the affected area. In the context of hair and scalp health, inflammatory conditions like alopecia areata or seborrheic dermatitis can lead to hair loss or scalp irritation. These conditions often involve the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissues, leading to chronic or acute symptoms that may require medical intervention.
