community My experience and a discourse on “DUPA”

Treatment options discussed include topical clobetasol propionate, oral minoxidil, and discontinuing finasteride.
community AGA responded to steroid shots? Biopsy wrong? Please help!

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
