    small tissue sample removed for microscopic examination

    A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed from the body for examination under a microscope. This is often done to diagnose diseases, including cancer, infections, and inflammatory conditions. In the context of hair and alopecia, a scalp biopsy can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss by analyzing the hair follicles and surrounding skin.
