Hi,
For your knowledge, I would say that alopecia areata is a chronic autoimmune relapsing disease of unknown cause. Stress might precipitate the disease. The disease process may be active in your case which may be responsible for the appearance of new patches. I would recommend you to take immunomodulator like levamisole or till the cure. Apply trioxsalen lotion on the patches on scalp daily. Apply tacrolimus lotion on patches of beard area. Intradermal steroid injection may be considered in unresponsive lesions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
