On weekends and most other times that I take some time off from my day job, I tend to let my facial hair grow out. I actually prefer to shave 2-3 times a week. I'm more comfortable with 2 days of growth than I am clean shaven. Because I'm used to having some growth, I was quick to notice recently that there is a spot on my face, on the left side of my chin, that has stopped growing hair.
It's about the size of a dime, if that dime had been run over by a cement roller and elongated slightly. I'm not on any meds, I haven't splashed any strange liquids onto my face, and I haven't singed myself on a flame. I'm also not a dermatologist so I'm stumped.
Is this really a function or by-product of age? I have a full head of thick hair, so it's sort of ironic that if I would develop a bald spot it would be on my face! Given the choice, of course, I'd pick the face every time. I would just like to know what may have caused this - do I need to eat more vegetables? Less sugar? More sun? Less sun?
I'll do a little digging on the net and see what I find.
