Hi,

You seem to have alopecia areata on beard and hair fall due to seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp. In both the conditions exact cause is not known. But, stress may precipitates or exacerbate s the conditions. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would suggest...
- mild steroid lotion like Betnovate lotion-apply at night on scalp
- shampooing with ketoconazole-containing shampoo daily
- almond oil may be oiled in scalp hairs after shampoo
- tacrolimus lotion - apply on patches on beard
- tab. biotin
- avoid stress and anxiety.

This may be continued for few months or till the good result.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.

Regards,
