Why Does DUPA Effect People Aged 16-23 More Than Others?
Hello i have a few questions about DUPA, i was wondering how long it took for your patients who responded well to propecia to notice visible result, coz ive bin on it for about 3 months and was wondering if i should quit.
also why do people aged 16-23 get dupa the most, what is causing this do you think?
And also i heard you say once that you prescribe dutasteride to patients with dupa if they dont respond to propecia why is this? has there been someone with dupa who has responded to dutasteride and not propecia.
please can you answer these please i would be most pleased
I do not believe that DUPA (diffuse unpatterned alopecia) is most common in the 16-23 year old age group. I believe it is found in people of all ages. The effects of drugs like Propecia (finasteride) or Avodart (dutasteride) are not confirmed for the treatment of DUPA, but they are the only things available for it. I have seen some benefits from Propecia on DUPA patients.
i think its because a large ammount of the DUPA cases are caused by accutane. Accutane DEFINATELY causes DUPA (i myself am a sufferer, and have spent six years researching and interacting with others in the same situation).
Since 16-23 is around the age group where accutane is first prescribe, a high number of people are seen to be suffering form this type of hair loss at this age. Unfortuantly, i beleive a lot of people never identify\recognize accutane as the cause.
