Baldness in Beards

Alopecia symptoms can develop in areas other than the scalp. Men can develop bald spots in their beard area. When the disease strikes facial hair, it can cause random baldness. For example, a bald spot may appear on the chin, but the remaining hair is unaffected.

Additionally, men with alopecia can experience balding in their mustache area. Similar to how it affects the beard, one side may grow thick and healthy, while the other has missing areas of hair or is completely bald.2‘Alopecia Areata.’ National Alopecia Areata Foundation, www.naaf.org/alopecia-areata
