A follicle is one of the tiny pockets in the skin that a hair grows from. Each hair sits in its own follicle, like a plant in a little bag.

A follicle is毛囊是 one of the tiny pockets皮膚裡的一種小囊袋 in the skin, that a hair grows from頭髮就是從裡面長出來的。Each hair sits每根頭髮都待 in its own follicle在自己的毛囊裡, like a plant就像植物 in a little bag待在一個小袋子裡一樣。

People say clogged follicles when those pockets are blocked, which can lead to spots. Though actually, it is less a hole and more a small sac — the Latin folliculus meant a little bag, from follis, a bag or bellows.

People say clogged follicles大家會說毛囊堵塞 when those pockets are blocked指的是這些小囊袋被塞住, which can lead to spots這可能導致長痘痘。Though actually不過事實上, it is less a hole它不是那麼像一個洞 and more a small sac而更像一個小囊袋 — the Latin folliculus拉丁文folliculus meant a little bag意思是小袋子, from follis來自follis, a bag or bellows也就是袋子或風箱。

Doctors also use follicle for other small bag-like parts of the body (you may meet ovarian follicle later in biology), but the sense you will hear first is the hair follicle. A hair-care and biology word, not everyday chat unless someone is talking about skin.
