Is this DUPA? If not what else could it be?


Recommended Posts

Hey, Im ken, 17,male. Do I have DUPA? My mother's side of the family has no history of baldness but my father has typical MPA which he experienced in his late 20s. My brother who is 20 has head full of thick hair. I experienced hairloss since I was 15. I have had b12 and severe vitamin D deficiency a few months back which has resolved now. I might have high insulin resistance too. I've attached my images, please do have a look and help me.

Hey Ken, you'll really need to get an appointment with a dermatologist or one of the sites recommended hair transplant doctors (Not for a transplant but because they know how best to diagnose).

That's some pretty significant thinning above the ears. In my opinion it's not impossible to be DUPA but it also may be autoimmune related as suggested above.

As always - take what forums say with a grain of salt - you'll wanna see a specialist as soon as possible as this will no doubt be distressing for you.

Yes that does appear to be DUPA, at 17 though, it may be an underlying condition. I suggest visiting a dermatologist for assessment.
