Hello, Thank you for your question and welcome to Healthcare Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern. The condition you are describing is called alopecia areata barbae. It s causes are not well defined but the mechanism how it happens is related with your immune system, which considers the hair of the beard as an invasive element and attacks the follicles to defend the organism of the invader erroneously detected.Emotional upset, mental stress, environmental situations, depression are also known to aggravate the condition. Telling the truth, no treatment option for alopecia areata barbae is very good, but some things have been shown to have an effect. For example, applying steroid creams or injecting steroids into the affected area may have an effect. Minoxidil, which stimulates hair growth, has been used with some effect. Other topical immune agents such as tacrolimus cream may be used for small spots. In short, you should first see your dermatologist to get a definitive diagnosis; then treatment options can be discussed an initiated. Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow up questions, feel free to write again, I will be pleased to answer you again. Take Care, Dr. Ina
