Brief Answer:
Photograph required

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Beard pattern is generally genetically determined.
If your father had the same pattern of beard then it is difficult to treat.
However if it's only you who is affected then you can use medication for proper growth of beard.
Use 5 % minoxidil lotion to be applied twice daily over beard and take biotin 10 mg tablet daily one.
Try this for 3 months.
You should get response with this.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
There is an option to upload photograph on right side of query page.
Please utilise that.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
