Wtf Man! Send Halp! Is This Dupa? Lol

[Cucumba]

what is good my fellow full/half mooners.

So in july 2017 I saw my first patch of baldness it was a size of a coin and I freaked the f*** out
it has since been 2 years.

I have recently been on minoxidil
but I am not consistent with it.

My question is, is this dupa?

when I had 1st experienced hair loss, it was just in a circular shape (small size) and I still had the thickness everywhere else. Then over time it seemed as if it started to thin out.

I have posted a lot of pics and I have also circled a pic with red ink to show that, that specific area was completely bald as if it was due to alopecia areata but

I think it slowly filled it self up or maybe its minoxidil
but then again I have only used minoxidil like once a week of if I am good with it ill use it for 2-3 days straight.

The pic that is ''gone are the days'' is what my hair used to be, it was full as f*** and so darn thick like an African booty
and the pic that says ''long hair'' is when I grew my hair out recently just to see what it would look like.

I have had no hairloss at the hairline just a little bit of thinning but I didn't realize my sides were actually like this.

I am not afraid to go on avodart/finasteride just haven't had the time to I am planning to see a new dermatologist because the last one I saw said that I had telogen effluvium.

I haven't had any further hair loss since my first post on here.

LINK TO MY 1ST POST^^ to be honest after viewing the pics on the 1st post I can see that my top of the scap has improved?

Hello my friend, i am french so i apologise in advance for my english.

I do have the same pattern as you, 28 years old, thinning and overall shedding back, side, and top and my hairline is quite not touched actually. I think it is DUPA and it is similar to female pattern hair loss actually.

Some studies showed that high prolactin level can cause hair on side and back to become sensitive to androgen as well. So might be something to dig in. Also annecdotally, it seems that DUPA sufferer are sensitive to DHT but also to Free testosterone in scalp. Apparently DHT seem to cause localised thinning where testosterone cause diffuse thinning.

If you have been to a dermatologist, i hope she gave you a full bloodwork to do because besides that they are useless

You need to check for :
-nutritionnal defficiency
-metabolism glucidic ((Glucose, insuline sensitivity,)
- full hormonal check : cortisol, LH ,FSH ,Prolactine, E2,17OH progesterone, progesterone, SHBG, testosterone total, free T, androstanediol G6470, delta 4 androstenedione, DHEA-S, DHT ....
- inflamatory syndrom ...

I am going to do a full blood check this friday, so i will send you the result here in 2 weeks if you want. If you have done a full blood work too, it will be great to compare it to check for similitude.

To tell you a bit about myself i started to lose hair all over since 3 years now.
I only started 7 month ago to take 1 mg finasteride daily, but it has thin my hair considerably because of the boost of scalp tesoterone it caused i think. I tried to add different antiandrogen topically such as ru58841 to tackle the rise in T (had to stop due to chest pain , shortness of breath), i used now topical cb0301 30mg/day but it is not enough powerful so it doesn't do sh*t. I am going to try topical bicalutamide now soon as it is a stronger AA and i think we have to fight testoerone as well.
Besides finasteride + cb0301 i don't take any supplement and it didn't stop my shedding at all.

I am curious to know about how much you lose hair per day, what regimen are you on, it seems you use minoxidil, dit it worked on you ? and how you manage to apply it all over your head ?

Also can you share if anything in your regimen has improved your situation so far or make it worse. Would be great to share info

You can send me a message privately as well.

Looking forward helping each other to solve that sh*t.

Best regard

Hello, just to recap, I am a man and have DUPA hair loss (or female pattern hair loss), diffuse hair loss and thinning (back, sides and top) which started 3 years ago after an episode in my life where my alimentation was very bad and had nutrient deficiency for sure. After fixing my alimentation properly my hair are still shedding and thinning all over.

Since 8 month i only take 1mg finasteride / day (no reduction on my hair loss), cb0301 30mg topicaly with no reduction on my hair loss, Biotin (10mg/day), spearmint tea (4 cup/day to reduce free testosterone), Flaxseed (30 g/day to reduce testosterone)

Here is a complete blood test that I have done 3 weeks ago. It would be great if some of you may highlight some issue in it and maybe propose corrective action as he might help others with similar hair loss.

From my perspective, I think I have low zinc, low vitamin d, high prolactin level, high cortisol level and maybe iron deficiency as we can have it according to study even with normal level of blood iron.

is there anything to be concerned about your results?

 

[camille leprevost]

well it has been said to me that my vit D level are to low, my prolactin /cortisol is to high/ i have high blood sugar
