Thread: weird bald spots...

Hey,

I've been noticing for about 2 weeks that i have three small bald spots in my beard. One right underneath my chin about the size of a nicket and two other small ones on the right side of my face. I'm pretty sure those didn't use to be there. Have you guys ever experienced something similar?

I have one on my neck, just below my chin, that I'd never noticed before. I guess now we're paying that much more attention to our shaves, and the results, you develop a better knowledge of what's going on with your whiskers.

I'd never even considered direction of growth until I started SR shaving. It doesn't really make much odds when you're hacking your face to bits with the latest miracle offering from Gillette.

The weird thing is that I'm about 99% sure that they didn't use to be there.

Yes, I would say the same about mine. Maybe those whiskers just couldn't take the heat of the straight razor.

At least now I have another excuse to shave every day. It looks pretty weird if I let my beard grow for a few days lol.

Thanks! I was just looking on that website. I think that might be it. Hopefully it won't spread out too much lol. Oh well I just have to keep it clean shaven all the time I guess.

My beard is pretty full, but i've got some bad spots in my chest hair dating back to being really stupid as a teenager.......

This is exactly what it is if the bald spots weren't there before. I developed this problem abot 5 years ago and went to the doctor. I also had three spots that got BIGGER as time pasted. It started to look pretty stupid so i made an appointment. I was told to have alopecia. I received shots (I don't know of what medicine) on the affected areas. I think i had to go back for 3 sets of shots , and a couple of months later, my hair grew back. Hope this helps you.

Were yours in your beard or somewhere else on your body?
I don't mind the way they are now but if it gets bigger than that might become an issue.
Did the doctor mention any potential causes for this?
