What is the difference between DPA and DUPA

DUPA is Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia while DPA is Diffuse Patterned Alopecia which is often associated with genetic balding. DPA in men, can be treated with finasteride which is probably the best known drug for this condition. DUPA is not the same entity, but sometimes it does respond to finasteride making it, on occasion, slightly improved. There is no real treatment for DUPA today. If you want a hair transplant, it will largely fail if you have DUPA. DPA most often happens with age as genetic balding appears and the genes are present in almost half of the male population of almost all races except for the American Indian whose ancestors came from Alaska.  This post may help you understand the thinning issue better: https://baldingblog.com/age-related-thinning-art/
