Brief Answer:
Less beard growth: most commonly a normal process as per genetics.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for less beard. It is sometimes really distressing for the improper hair growth.

Let me first reassure and counsel you that most of the times your kind of problem is totally normal condition which we very commonly see in day to day practice. It is quite common that persons like you who do not have properly grown beard are quite concerned and anxious to grow them fully by any means.

Let you understand some medical facts regarding hair growth: The growth of beard and mustaches is totally dependent upon our genetics, it means whatever genes we are carrying for the growth- from our mother and father's side are responsible for that pattern of hair growth and other of features such health, height and everything.

It does not mean that we should be totally alike our parents but it means whatever the pattern was present in our forefathers or previous many generations, the same pattern will be exhibited in ourselves also. We usually see this kind of pattern of less mustaches and beard in Asiatic people.

Other than the normal pattern, sometimes it can be due to less male hormones or endocrinologist problem in a person.

Let me know form your side:

- Your present age.

- Do you have hair growth on arm pit and pubic areas.

– Do you feel any abnormality in your sexual desire or tumescence of penile area or any erection problem or are you sexually active.

- How is your family pattern- hair in other male members.

It would be best to send few good resolution pictures of the area yourself so that it can be analyzed best.

To differentiate between the two let me know above information from your side.

I hope this information are helpful.

"With good health wishes"

Brief Answer:
Basically a normal genetical condition of less hair growth

Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,

Thanks for your follow up and providing all the important information.

After getting these information and analyzing the pictures with diligence, the most important part is that your condition is simple condition related to genetics rather then hormonal problem.

It is quite important to differentiate the normal genetical condition from the endocrinological condition. As you have totally normal of all other of your sexual functions with normal hair growth on other side of body which rules out any possibility of less testosterone (hormone responsible for hair growth).

Now you must be wondering that why you have specifically less hair over beard location then. It is due to simple fact of the genes you are carrying. You may say that your father and bother have normal hair and why less in yourself then!!!

It is due to the fact that you are not carrying exactly the same genes which your father or brother are carrying. We carry our genes from our forefather and forefather of our forefathers.

In yourself you carry a gene with less hair growth on beard area due to less hair roots and accordingly you have less hair. There is no need of any investigation in your condition and so do not waste your precious money in same. As you got that this is not a disease and accordingly there is no exact pin point treatment for same. I very often counsel young men like you very anxious to grow hair on any cost. Even they take or apply one or the other medicines. But I see a lot of side effects and ultimately getting some serious problems. So I personally suggest you to not to get fascinated by one or other ads related to it.

There is no such homeopathic or ayurvedic or any other drug which can help in growing hair. None of any of these drugs can grow hair roots which are not present.

Recently there is one procedure of hair grafting been done, but in my experience it gives bit un-natural look, so do not recommend the same in you.

I hope this helps.
