A plan for my DUPA
I fear I may have developed DUPA. My sides and back have become transparent and I am approaching an NW7. I have added oral fin, oral min, and topical pyrilutamide which I believe has helped and the oral min has regrown some hair and increased thickness a bit. But the density is still poor. I still experience some itching and tingling along my hair line, even for my beard which is patchy. I am wondering if there are natural anti-inflammatory treatments I can add to my regimen to combat loss from inflammation. Is there a such thing as a natural JAK inhibitor that may be gentle enough to help my DUPA?
I have read that for DUPA sufferers, inflammation is the cause of hair loss, where the immune system attacks all the hair follicles of the head. This seems relevant to me because right after a shower if I have scrubbed and dried my skin a lot, I notice a lot of puffiness, redness all over and tingling and itching and hair fall from my scalp and even beard. So I fear inflammation is attacking my hair. I have also suffered skin conditions like eczema resulting from inflammation in the past. I am afraid to try JAK inhibiting drugs to combat inflammation because they come with high risk of potentially deadly sides.
Your discussion was interesting to read. Please make sure that you have DUPA. This is what it looks like, so get a hand microscope and see if this is what you have: https://baldingblog.com/classic-case-of-dupa/
