Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.

I'm starting to think the inflammation I've got is a vascular response to damaged cells. The damage was done by oxidative stress.

Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic.... Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.

The reason why I haven't suspected it was inflammation until now is because there was neither redness nor swelling.
