What are Some Common Pathologies Associated with the Cuticle of the Inner Root Sheath?
Pathologies affecting the cuticle of the inner root sheath can lead to hair disorders such as alopecia and other forms of hair loss. In conditions like trichorrhexis nodosa, the cuticle may be disrupted, leading to weak points along the hair shaft. Additionally, inflammatory conditions such as folliculitis can damage the inner root sheath, including its cuticle, compromising the integrity of the hair follicle.
