What are Some Common Pathologies Associated with Henle's Layer?
Several hair disorders and pathologies can affect Henle's layer:
1. Alopecia: Conditions like alopecia areata can lead to the loss of hair follicles, including Henle's layer. Histological examination can reveal the extent of follicular damage. 2. Trichorrhexis Nodosa: This condition is characterized by the presence of weak points along the hair shaft, often associated with defects in Henle's layer and other parts of the hair follicle. 3. Folliculitis: Inflammatory conditions affecting the hair follicle can involve Henle's layer, causing disruption in its structure and function.
