What Causes Hair Loss In Right Mustache?
about six months ago I started to see a tiny loss of hair at the right lower part of my mustache, and the balded area kept increasing from right to left and now it reached the middle and sopped. If I dont shave this baded area the hair grows slowly white hair, the rest normally growing black. I may say that started to show, maybe after my teeth Xrays, but only thye right side has this problem.
Please help me, what to do, thank you.

Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
I will keep a possibility of Alopecia Areata(AA); AA clinically presents as smooth, bald patches of hair loss.
The condition is more common at the scalp but can also affect other hairy areas like beard, mustache, eyebrows and eyelashes.
The patches may regrow new hair spontaneously Or in response to treatment. Intra-lesional injections of long acting depot preparations of steroid e.g triamcinolone acetonide is the treatment of choice; these injections are administered once every 3 weeks and bald patches usually new hair regrow in about 2-3 injections.
The hair that regrows may initially be fine and light colored Or may be totally white but later on repigment.
Regards
