Do You Think I Might Have DUPA? (with Photos)

Hi,

I thought that I had diffused thinning for a while and recently someone pointed out that I might have DUPA instead; can you take a look at these pictures and tell me what type of hair loss I most likely have?

If this is DUPA, would it still be advisable for me to get FUE surgery? Lastly, in terms of treatments, I just wanted to mention that I’m currently on dutasteride and minoxidil.

Thanks

You need a proper examination of your scalp. DUPA (diffuse unpatterned alopecia) will show miniaturization of the hair around the sides and back (donor area) of your head. Miniaturization can only be seen under magnification and while I do thank you for sending photos, what you sent me does not produce enough value for me to even help you. It does appear that you have some patterned balding… and that is not DUPA.
