Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are two main causes of decreased beard hair genetic and hormonal imbalance. We cannot do anything more in genetics case, but we definitely can rectify the endocrinology cause. So, you need to go for a few investigations such as serum free testosterone, serum DHEAS (dihydroepiandrosterone) and serum SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin).

Thank you.
