Facial hair bald spots

Facial hair bald spots

I just recently got back from afghanistan, and I noticed a month and a half ago I now have a bald spot on my left cheek the shape of a grape. First I figured it was stress, but just today I noticed I now have one the size of a tic tac on my chin. I've never had an issue with facial hair til now, im 23 years old and it seems im losing hair... what exactly is going on?

Possibly alopecia areata, with a differential diagnosis of fungal infection..Spontaneous regrowth occurs in the earlier in quite a few but others may need a steroid creme for induction. Do consult your doc.

Do not ignore it, consult a dermatologist, can be alopecia areata.

Also post the proscribed treatment & development here.

Good Luck
