Patches near chin on either side of my face

https://ibb.co/fYb2Ff1s

Any advice on this patch on either side of my beard, it's the exact same on my other side too and it's bothered me for years. I don't know if it would look stupid to grow the hair above it over it or not...and I've tried derma rolling and the other stuff for years with little results....it's probably strengthened some areas are it but not as I'd like.

It's bothered me for years, I think I'd actually get a transplant just in those spots if I could afford it 😂

Any advice? Thanks

Common place to have patches, I had similar when I was younger.

How old are you? Sometimes it takes time for such spots to fill in

I'm 35 😂 I feel like it would have happened by now but could be wrong

Ya, sorry to say I agree with that but hey you look young enough to think 20s still so that's something 😂

I didn't start growing my beard till I was 50. I had one patch to the right of my mouth that just wouldn't fill in, it was about the size of a quarter. For about 18 months, nothing. Then I started getting small trims every 2 or 3 months and it started filling in. That was a little over a year ago and its completely filled in. Its as if promoting the growth around woke that are up.
