What Causes Red Hairs In Beard And Moustache?

Hello. Some weeks ago some of my friends start mocking me because my beard was starting to get red hairs on both sides, next to the mouth. Now, I can see thatt it is spreading around my beard and its getting to the moustache as well. I really have no idea why this is happening since my family has no red headed persons what so ever. I read in the web that this could be a result of a diet pretty rich in sugars and such. Is this plausible or its just something else ? Thank you very much.

Hi,

No, food has nothing to do with this condition, but he should see a dermatologist to do some lab tests especially hormonal and melatonin levels.

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