Why Is My Beard Thinning? 7 Words Rule

[Haironnu]

My beard has been thinning for the past year, I have no idea why and honestly this is just another huge hit on top of my hair loss, at this rate not only I'll be bald but I will also lose my beard and be a complete egg face.

I'm 28, male, last time I checked my testosterone was the same as it was years ago, I'm not taking any drugs.
only thing I use is ketoconazole shampoo on my head and face for saborreia dermatitis, which it helped greatly.

I have searched online for possible reasons for breardloss and there is literally nothing, the only kind of beard loss I find info of is alopecia barba but my beard loss is not in patches, it's evenly diffused, like my head. so I don't think what I have is alopecia barba.

does anyone have any knowledge about beard loss that isn't alopecia barba?

Is your testosterone low for a male?

Are you on finasteride or dutasteride? I noticed this sh*t a bit with my facial hair, like I would randomly get these circular spots where my beard would thin.

Is your testosterone low for a male?

well, it's low for my age range, yes.
but it was the same amount when I had fuller beard. my testosterone levels did not change.

I'm not on any drugs.

Just rub minoxidil on your beard.

too high maintenance, if I ever stop all gains will quickly diminish, and I don't want to go on minx anyway because it can have brutal side effects on the face.

not that I know of. it for sure didn't reduce the rate of my hair loss.

I use it on my face once a day and haven't got any brutal sides. After switching to once a day I'm not getting dry either.

Anecdotal evidence shows that 1-2 years of use will result in terminal hairs on ur beard area too.
