Diagnosing and Treating Diffuse Patterned Alopecia (DPA)

Men and women with [tag]thinning hair[/tag] often assume that their balding will follow one of the patterns of [tag]hair loss[/tag] defined by the [tag]Norwood Scale[/tag] ([tag]male pattern baldness[/tag]) or the [tag]Ludwig Scale[/tag] ([tag]female pattern hair loss[/tag]), but this isn’t always the case.

Though [tag]androgenic alopecia[/tag] is the most common form of [tag]balding[/tag], there are other forms of alopecia hair loss that do not follow a pattern. One of these is [tag]Diffuse Patterned Alopecia[/tag] or DPA.

You can learn more about DPA and other alopecias by visiting the new Alopecia Hair Loss section of the Hair Loss Learning Center.
