Why is my beard falling out so badly?

Patient's Query

My beard is falling out badly

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

There are a few common reasons why this could be happening. Sometimes, stress or nutritional deficiencies can play a role. In fact, certain medical conditions like alopecia areata can also cause hair loss in specific areas. It's important to have a thorough evaluation by a dermatologist to pinpoint the underlying cause. In the meantime, make sure you're eating a balanced diet and managing stress levels.

A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

I have psoriasis in the same finger of both the hands. I have tried several treatments but it is not getting any better. How to deal with this?

Female | 24

Psoriasis can be a chronic skin condition that require ongoing treatment. If you have tried several treatments without success, then discuss with a dermat to determine appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Medications, phototherapy, or biologic treatments are few options. Moreover you can try to avoide stress, smoking, and alcohol, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I am 15 year old female and my lower face is darker than my upper face. It's not pigmentation or pimple patches. It's totally darker than my upper face. It starts from my chubby chicks to jawline

Female | 15

You might have a medical condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can sometimes cause the lower face to be darker than the rest. It's not dangerous but could be a sign of something more serious, like insulin resistance, that is happening inside your body. You can fix this by eating cleaner, being active, and maintaining skin health. Furthermore, consume a lot of water.

I have a bad case of chaffing and heat rash on my personal areas..I got cream that works at home in the AC.. but when I'm at work in the heat it flares back up... What can I do??

Male | 43

You are likely experiencing a heat rash and chafing in your private areas. This usually happens because perspiration becomes trapped against the skin thereby irritating. Signs may include redness, itching, and sometimes little bumps. To assist with this, tighten any loose-fitting clothes, stay cool, and ensure it’s dry down there. Apply some soothing ointment and be sure to take breaks if possible.

Face pimple itching and redness and spots what can use medicine to relif pimple 2 month ago I am very tens

Female | Zeenat

The skin’s pores can often get clogged by bacteria or hormonal changes. If a pimple is bothering you, try an acne spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and clear the pores. Remember to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and avoid picking at the pimple to prevent scarring.

I have oily skin and acne problem. The problem is that scars are not removed completely. Some are getting light but not removed completely. I recently heard about microdermabrasion for acne scars from one of my friends. Does it really work? I am 23 now. Does it have any side effects?

Female | 23

If you have oily skin and acne problem, sometimes if acne is severe they might burst or get infected or if you pick your acne too much they might result into scars. As per Dermatologist there are 5 types of scars which are commonly encountered. 
1. Ice Picks Scars: Very small in surface but deep and narrow below. 
2. Roll-Over Scars: Wide but borders are difficult to appreciate 
3. Box-car Scars: wide and borders can be easily appreciated. 
4. Open pores like Scars: Small Ice Pick Scars 
5. Hyper-trophic Scars: 
so the treatment for the scars depends upon the type of scars. Commonly treatment which are effective are TCA cross, subsition treatment, microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency, PRP treatment, CO2 Laser, RBM Glass laser and even dermal fillers. 
As you are 23 and you are asking about microdermabrasion, it removes superficial skin layers and it is effective only for superficial scars which are not very deep. This might require you multiple sessions like 8-10 sessions for it to work. Instead of Microdermabrasion you can go for microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency which will require less number of sessions and on top of it you can add PRP to it.

Hello, I want to know how to remove spots on baby skin that are light brown in color. The baby is a one-year-old boy.

Male | 1

The spots may be of different types in babies. Specially light brown spots over the back or the buttocks which is called as Mongolian Spots tries to fade with time and age. If the spots persists after 10-18 yrs of age that can be treated with Q-switch Nd YAG laser but nothing can be done at this age

A red colored and long mass type thing is coming out from belly button. thick yellow discharge also came out sometimes from belly button. I have no pain, no swelling, no discomfort, nothing

Female | 24

It looks as though you burgeon an umbilical granuloma which is a small piece of tissue that protrudes from your belly button. The yellow discharge may be an indication of the infection. In some instances, it could come on without any pain or swelling. To do this, you have to keep the area clean and dry. It is also possible that you will need antibiotics when the infection gets worse.

Hi doctor i am 13 years old and i have itching in the middle of my thigh and i dont know what is it i think in Philippines this is called hadhad and i think its fungal and what is the medicine of it

Male | 13

Without a physical examination, it is difficult to understand your problem and the cause of it. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis of your condition. Based on that, he may recommend the right treatment for your problem which can include antibiotic or anti-inflammatory creams.

I got the cut from the barber trimmer is it the chance of getting hiv virus from that trimmer ?

Male | 21

You are very unlikely to get HIV from a barber trimmer. HIV is not spread by inanimate objects like trimmers but through fluids that carry the virus, such as blood. Look for symptoms such as fever or maybe pimples but always keep in mind the probability of this happening is extremely low.

As asked earlier that can I exercise if having fungal infection, but now my q is after 1 month of medication my fungal infection is recovered, but due to long use of medicines , stretch marks are visible so now can I exercise..?

Male | 17

It is usual for scars to show up when you are on medication for a long time. Now that the infection is gone, you can begin working out, but you need to take it easy. Stretch marks usually disappear on their own, but applying moisturizer to your skin can help. Always keep in mind that it is your body that will determine the limits, and in case of any pain or discomfort, stop.

I am have white discharge from my penis and itchy anus

Male | 25

You might have a yeast infection. This can bring about a white discharge from your penis and an itchy anus. Yeast infections can occur when there is a moist and warm environment, such as the groin area. One of the best solutions to maintaining a healthy area is staying dry, wearing only clean underwear, and not wearing tight clothes. Antifungal creams which are sold without a prescription can be used.

Can I use soframycin ointment on my nose piercing

Female | 17

Nose pie­rcings sometimes get infe­cted. Redness, swe­lling, pus appear when germs e­nter. Soframycin ointment doesn't tre­at piercing infections. Saline solution (saltwate­r) gently cleans the are­a. Rinse piercing multiple time­s daily. If symptoms persist beyond seve­ral days, consult a doctor. Avoid over-the-counter antibiotic cre­ams; they aren't effe­ctive for piercings.
