    GlossaryInfundibular Region

    upper part of a hair follicle below skin's surface

    The infundibular region refers to the upper part of a hair follicle, just below the opening of the follicle at the skin's surface. This area is crucial for the passage of sebum and other substances from the sebaceous glands to the skin, and it plays a significant role in conditions like acne and folliculitis.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
