What is DUPA (Diffuse, Unpatterned Alopecia)?

Looking at your pictures, it looks like you may have what is known as DUPA (Diffuse, Unpatterned Alopecia). Patients with DUPA have thinning on the entire scalp, including the donor area, which is the area of hairs that is supposed to not suffer from thinning and that is used for hair transplantation. To diagnose this, a detailed exam of your scalp is required, by a doctor with experience in hair loss. DUPA can mimmic regular hair loss, but patients with DUPA are usually not good candidates for hair transplantation. Treatment can improve hair density and prevent further thinning. Let me know if I can help by seeing you for a consultation, but it would have to be in person. Good luck!

I have dupa am I eligible for a hair transplant? Because my donor area looks thin and if there's any treatment for improving donor area for undergoing hair transplant

Hop on finasteride and minoxidil. If the treatment doesn’t work, then replace finasteride with dutasteride, while continuing the application of minoxidil

Treatments doesn't work on people with DUPA unfortunately.
