Does this appear to be severe DUPA or TE? (Photos)

Question

I noticed hair shedding a few years back. Nothing extreme but the amount of hairs on my pillow, sink,erc was noticeable and hairs come out easier. Shed hairs appear like "normal" hair. Nothing noticeably different about them. Thinning is severe over top and sides. Also below crown but not actual crown. No hairline recession. Hair loss is only symptom. No medications, illness, surgery. Probably around 60-75% hair loss. Last picture is a close up of the left temple combed up to show hairs.

This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Most probably you have a atypical slow grading androgenetic type hair
loss. but it is better to  have a full exam with an hair surgeon and/or endocrinologist , to find out any reason for hair loss. You may start to use minoxidil %5 to thicken the crown area and stop hair
loss.You would better planning to have an
exam at hair loss expert for hair restoration surgery when you fell
uncomfortable about hair styling or total loss of hair..

You need to see a doctor to make the diagnosis. The diagnosis of DUPA is made with a microscope showing miniaturization in the donor area in excess of 20%
