5 / 308 resultscommunity Questions about DUPA and figuring out what my hairloss is (NEED INPUT BADLY)
The conversation discusses severe hair shedding and thinning, with the original poster using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and other supplements without improvement. The discussion highlights the possibility of telogen effluvium and the importance of addressing potential underlying health issues, such as stress and gut health, rather than assuming diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA).
community Calling out *diffuse thinners* here -- Have you ruled out other factors?
Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.

community Lost 65% of hair last 3 years. No regrowth. Also have Seborrheic Dermatitis flare ups. Diagnosed by derm as "alopecia". Started taking 2 supplements I researched and 0 flare up for over 2 months. New hair growing. Scalp healthy. Everything else has stayed the same! Overjoyed is an understatement!!
After suffering from hair loss and Seborrheic Dermatitis for three years with no improvement from various treatments, the individual found success with COQ10 and PQQ supplements, which led to new hair growth and a healthy scalp without flare-ups. They also plan to start additional supplements recommended by a dermatologist.
community I find it funny a bunch of us on here are on drugs for hairloss and maintain clean/healthy lives and then there’s these mf’s in the 90’s juiced to the gills with steroids and have better hair than all of us lol
The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.
