# Alopecia of beard hair #
Alopecia of beard hair, also known as beard alopecia or alopecia barbae, is a condition where men experience hair loss specifically in the beard area. This can present as small, round patches of hair loss or more extensive thinning. It is a form of alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
Causes
1.Autoimmune Factors: The primary cause is believed to be autoimmune, where the body's immune system targets hair follicles.
2..Genetics: A family history of alopecia areata or other autoimmune diseases increases the risk.
3.Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger or exacerbate the condition.
4.Environmental Factors: Although less clear, some environmental triggers may play a role
