Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the biopsy report you have mentioned.
No need to worry for malignant mass as this report is negative for malignancy.
Possibility of hair root infection (presence of reactive squamous cell) and inflammation is more likely.
So nothing to worry about non Hodgkins recurrence.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
