I’m Losing Hair on the Sides, But the Top and Front Are Fine
I’ve noticed lately that the sides and the lower back of my hair have gotten a little thinner in density. However, the front and top and upper back (crown) have remained the same density. Also, I there isn’t any receding in the front of my hairline or any loss in density there either. Looking through your website I saw something about DUPA and I was wondering is it possible I have DUPA? Is the loss of density on the sides of my hair a sign of balding ? Because the top and front and crown look fine and I thought balding occurred there first. I also recently lost a lot of weight and am continuing to lose weight could hair loss on the sides be because of that?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Typical male pattern baldness does not occur on the back and sides of the head, but I couldn’t say what you have going on without seeing what you’re talking about. To get that diagnosis, you absolutely need to get your scalp hair mapped out for miniaturization. This can be a serious problem, so do it right and have a good doctor manage you.
I too have this and was told by a doctor I don’t have DUPA. I have miniaturization (40%) but was told I DONT have DUPA. I was told this by Dr. Bernstein. Weird pattern I guess.
I have the same problem too. My hair density is fine at the front and on the top, but my sides ( especially my right side) has a very very low density for some reason.
