You may be having alopecia areata. this is an autoimmune condition due to the attack of lymphocytes against hair roots. It results in the formation of bald patches on the scalp. It can affect any hairy area of the body also like eyebrows and beard. It has to be treated properly for long duration until the immunity comes down. Once the immunity is controlled, hair grows back over the patches. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. ,

Could be alopecia areata. It’s an auto immune disease which affects the hair and person would develop hairless patch on scalp or beard. Majority of cases disease is not sever but you need to start medicine ASAP as it would progress and affect other areas. Creams and medicines are available for complete cure. Do connect for further management and consultation
