Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

He seems to have Alopecia Areata. It usually presents as smooth bald patches of hair loss on soap and beard region. I suggest Intralesional injection with triamcinolone acetonide 2.5mg/ml for these patches.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
