    study of skin's microscopic structure and layers

    Skin histology is the study of the microscopic structure of the skin. It involves examining the different layers of the skin, such as the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, to understand their functions and how they contribute to overall skin health. This field is crucial for diagnosing skin diseases and understanding conditions like alopecia, where hair loss is linked to changes in skin structure.
