Hi , a bald spot has developed in my beard, I searched it on internet and it shows that the same could be Alopecia areata. Please suggest how that can be cured and if there is something to worry about.

If what you have assumed is right , try Tacrolimus cream over the affected area twice daily for a month . if it doesn't show much improvement meet a dermatologist in your locality. Stress if any should be tackled well.
