Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I would like to know whether you have a single patch of white beard or white hairs are present throughout your beard .
Both the conditions are totally different.
A single white patch is seen in alopecia aerata which can be easily treated. Diffuse hair whitening is difficult to treat.
If possible upload a photograph of your face. This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and a better way of management. There is an option to upload photos on right side of query page.
Please utilize it.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you
