Thinner

It looks like DUPA. You need to start finasteride 1mg per day and see after 6 months how your donor will react to the treatment. Then reassess after 12 months.

I understand that not everyone gets the side effects but I must say am I scared to start fin due to fears of Erectile Dysfunction. I feel like this hair loss has a tight grip on my life.

Unfortunately if this isn’t DUPA i don’t know what is ..you’ll need an in person evaluation to confirm it though .

The juice won’t be worth the squeeze pursuing a HT would be my opinion.

Ahh, I know. It seems to me it’s a very rare form of hair loss or thinning as I haven’t really seen many peoples hair like this. When I wake up in the morning it is very patchy looking just from laying on a pillow.

If you had said you've had a HT in the past then I'd hazard a guess your scalp donor is overharvested.  Since you haven't had anything done, there might be something else going on, other than male pattern baldness.  Find a dematologist who can do skin biopies to rule out other skin disease.  If it's LPP then start treatment.

Interesting as I do suffer with lichen planus and oral lichen planus which is also an autoimmune disorder that has no know cause, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be seeing a dermatologist soon

Hey all, new to the forum 

I am a 37 year old male with thinning hair, I have had thinning hair for maybe over 15 years at a slow pace but I feel like my hair has been miniaturizing more over the last few years due to stressful life events. My hairline is ok for the most part. I have a bald spot on the left area of the crown. My hair is all around thin including the sides and back (donor area)

I am not sure if I have (dupa) diffuse unpatterned alopecia as I have never been medically told that I do or not. 

I’m healthy for the most part aside from stresses of life. I don’t have any medical conditions or diseases that I know of. I don’t take any medications for any health issues or any medications for my hair, I have never had a hair transplant 

I have a full beard for the most part, my chest hair is curly and a little sparse but it’s there

I would like to know if I am a HT candidate and if so by looking at pictures if you think my donor area is ok or not and possibly my beard to head? Or body to head? 

What options do I have if any? Or am I pretty much screwed?

I want to get a transplant done if possible. I’m in the states, thinking about going to turkey if anything can be done. I understand I have to speak to a specialist but any thoughts? I have reached out to a few through email but haven’t received a response yet. I have contacted Dr. Ozlem Bicer
