I was once just battling regular male hairloss. Then 3 years ago I started suffering from what I can only relate as Alopecia barbae. I have patches of my facial hair that no longer grow in as it once did. Its fluctuated alittle bit where I get some back, but then some areas get worse. I've been a beard wearer for most of my adult life, so this too is very stressful. Anyone else had this issue? And luck with curing it at all? I know its different than standard male pattern baldness from the research I've done. The body just one day thinks the hair is a virus and fights it.
