Suggest Treatment For Insufficient Growth Of Facial Hair
I m 19, near 20, and I have grown interested in beards. My beard is fairly full, except my mustache doesn t connect, and on my right side, there is a huge patch between the chin and cheek. I have noticed that there are small peach fuzz hairs growing in the spot. Will the patch eventually fill in?

Hi,
The patches seem to fill in gradually with age progression as you mentioned but depend on hereditary hair distribution in individuals so if your siblings and father had normal hair distribution it seems likely to fill in accordingly. I don't recommend using drugs or other means to increase the growth as those contain androgens which may cause other side effects.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
