A member asked:

Using a facial scrub i noticed that my beard was becoming more and more sparse so i quit using it. the hair growing back looks thin.will it grow back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May not: If substances in the scrub damaged hair follicles, full growth may not recur. Time will tell. A dermatologist often can tell the cause of hair loss and whether hair will grow back.
