    A patch of beard that suddenly stops growing may be due to folliculitis, anemia, trauma, etc. It requires timely and targeted treatment.

    1. Folliculitis

    Folliculitis usually causes local hair follicle damage, which may prevent normal growth of the beard area. You can cooperate with your doctor to apply erythromycin ointment, mometasone furoate cream, tacrolimus ointment, etc.

    2. Anemia

    A patch of beard suddenly stops growing. It may be due to anemia that causes a local lack of nutrients. The anemia needs to be corrected, and the doctor can also cooperate with the doctor to take ferrous sulfate tablets, ferrous lactate tablets, Angelica sinensis oral liquid, etc.

    3. Trauma

    If the beard area is impacted and causes local damage to the hair follicle tissue, the beard may not grow long, and it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor for implant surgery.

    In addition to the above reasons, there may also be alopecia areata, etc., which require medical treatment.
