    swelling and irritation around hair follicles

    Perifollicular inflammation refers to the swelling and irritation that occurs around hair follicles. This condition can lead to hair loss and is often seen in various types of alopecia, such as alopecia areata. It involves immune cells attacking the hair follicles, which can disrupt normal hair growth and cause damage to the follicle structure.
