Hi I'm a 21 year old male. I had a full set of facial hair but for some reason patches of my moustache and a small patch of my beard disappeared. I shaved regularly in the hopes that they would grow back but to no avail. How should I deal with this.

There are two reasons for this. First it may be some old injury, abrasion or cut over the area which removed the hair follicle. Second may be due to fungal infection which causes patchy baldness of affected area. If it is due to injury nothing can be done. If due to fungal then anti-fungals are needed. Also treatment of hair if dandruff is present.
