What Does Beard Bald Spots Mean?

I have beard bald spots , it started as one and is getting to be more. Started low on right side, now is under chin. Xrays at the dentist showed several black spots in my jaw. Do you have any off the record guess for what it could be? Could it be cancer?

Beard balled spots may be a form of alopecia for which you need to consult a dermatologist first. I would advice you to present the jaw xrays to an oral medicine and radiology department of any dental college to establish any relevance with your extra oral signs and dental health . Any form of 'Cancer' though appears far fetched. Hope this answers your question.
