At first, I was thinking, wow, heat and light treatment, how advanced, lol. I agree with Selb. Your type of hair loss often thickens right up with the standard male treatments. Keto and blue/green Tegrin might do it as they reduce inflammation.
I'm from India. I wouldn't be surprised if some weird herbal folk here practice something close to what you described regarding the heated torches.
You have any pics to compare?
Isn't this condition self resolving? Also I don't have smooth bald patches.
There’s a form of alopecia areata which is diffuse. Look it up. And it doesn’t 100% go away by itself. There might be a trigger you don’t know about or you need strong medication to fix it
Write: "Dupa hair loss" on google and look at the pictures it's always the same thing. The sides and the back of the head are always evenly sparse with lots of holes. But it's not your case because it's not homogeneous.
Whoa!! You could be right. I've been to 2 derms neither of whom have any scalp biopsy or trichoscope facilities. They couldn't diagnose my exact condition either. The next derm I'm going to will be a bit far from my residence but he does have these tools. I'll even mention AAI.
Absolutely. Steroids are useful it seems. I'll be visiting a third derm soon. With all the fancy tools and diagnostic facilities. His clinic isn't close and he charges a lot, but a correct diagnosis would be wonderful in solving my issues.
Some of the pictures look similar to my hair idk. Diagnosing dupa seems to be hit and miss though.
So if one has autoimmune problem like IBS or seborrheic dermatitis, they can't take finasteride?
I meant auto immune hair problems. Like alopecia areata. Though in my research there is some correlation between existing auto immune issues like IBS and immune disorders in hair
If my doctor said I'm thinning but when my hair is curly and dry natural, I can't see any scalp only when parted, does it mean I'm in early stages? I don't lose any hair in shower apart from 3 or 5 ish. And that's if I pull it hard. My crown isn't thinning yet. And if I have IBS does it mean finasteride won't work
If it is autoimmune then natural methods can solve it right. If it isn't due to the genetic and sh*t.
I mean autoimmune hair loss is its own mystery, and treatments also lacking because it's quite difficult to inhibit immune responses locally. But steroids etc can help.
It's my case. Finasteride doesnt work on me and i have DUPA . I don't know what to do now
