Does Dandruff Lead To White Patches On Chin Area In Men?
This is Thomas, I was having a thick beard for the past one year. When i shaved I could see some white patches on the right side of my face. One of my friends told me like , it is due to the dandruff. But there is no much dandruff on my hair. Do dandruff causes these sort of white patches.

Welcom Mr. Thomas!
I can understand your concerns.
No, it isn't due to tha dandruff. Dandruff affectes the scalp primarily and if you don't have it there, less chances are for it to be in the beard.
There are some diseases of skin in which dandruff spreads to the body areas other than scalp but your presented symptoms doesn't match with anyone of these skin diseases.
Hope I answered all of your medical concerns. Have any doubts/other health issues, feel free to contact me anytime directly from my profile.
