I have developed a bald spot in my facial hair. Two actually, each about the size of a quarter and in close proximity to each other. i never had these spots untill about 9months ago. The spots themselves are very smooth without a trace of facial hair. The only correlation i can figure is that roughly around the same time i started using an electric razor i noticed the spots ( not the 1st time or anythig but thats the only thing i can think of ). Also i am 1/2 native American but assume genetic bald spots are there from the get go. Any info would be very helpfull (especially the scientific name of this condition).Thanks!!
Loss of beard hair can be caused by a variety of conditions such as ringworm, alopecia areata, or genetic factors, amongst others. You need to see a good dermatologist to evaluate your situation. I would doubt the electric razor is the cause.
