I was brought to your site by asking the question about missing facial hair. I am a 31 year old Male, I have first stage chyrosis of the liver, I was born with biliary atresia, other than that I have been very healthy throughout my life and lead an active lifestyle. Up until about Easter of 2008 I had a full face of hair, then a small spot appeared about the size of a pencil eraser, now I have three patches about the size of a silver dollar all located by the chin bone. Should I see skin specialist of just ask my Internist if this is related to my disease. Thank you.
It sounds like you are a fortunate man, as so many people do not live a good life with biliary atresia (see Wikipedia). I would imagine that you should first consult your primary doctor, then a good dermatologist. Patches of hair loss can reflect a wide variety of problems and I am uncomfortable with evaluating you for them over the Internet without examining you.
