small, solid lumps forming in various body tissues
Nodules are small, solid lumps that can form in various tissues of the body, including the skin, lungs, and thyroid. In the context of hair and scalp health, nodules can refer to firm, raised areas that may develop due to conditions like folliculitis or other inflammatory processes. These nodules can sometimes be painful and may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
