I was told before rads to tongue and neck that I would have a permanent bald patch around the ear area, but I now have no facial hair growing anywhere except a small area beneath my nose. Does facial hair come back or is this the new normal (as I don’t like facial hair,‘I’m not worried. Just curious). How long did it take you for facial hair to come back?
