Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
It seems that you are suffering from a condition called alopecia aerata. It is an autoimmune condition of skin characterized by formation of bald patch that may involve scalp, beard area and eyebrow as well.
It is a self limiting condition. In case it increases rapidly, intralesional steroid injection is considered as the best treatment modality.
I will advice you to visit your dermatologist in person for examination and confirmation of diagnosis.
stay healthy.
