    autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss in beard area

    Alopecia Areata Barbae, also known as Beard Alopecia Areata, is a condition characterized by sudden, patchy hair loss in the beard area. It is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. This condition can cause small, round, smooth patches of hair loss and may sometimes progress to more extensive hair loss in the beard.
