subtle inflammation at hair follicle base affecting growth

Follicular microinflammation refers to a subtle, often chronic inflammation occurring at the base of hair follicles. This condition can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, potentially leading to hair thinning or loss. It is often not visible to the naked eye but can be detected through microscopic examination and is considered a contributing factor in various types of alopecia.
