Why Would a Coin Sized Bald Spot Just Appear In My Beard?

Hi

I have a problem which has only surfaced in the past month and is very embarrassing as i am planning to get married in the next 3 months. On the top of my chin, the size of a 1 cent coin i have a patch where no hair is growing. I have black hair but have noticed in this patch small, thin blonde hair is growing and the skin on this patch is very very smooth. I am not on any medication or anything and am not stressed so am unsure what it is. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

You describe a condition that sounds like alopecia areata, but clearly it may not be as you describe it. You should see a dermatologist for an examination which would consider, amongst other things, the diagnosis of alopecia areata. For more, please see the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
