Does chemotherapy cause loss of beard or mustash?

Yes, chemotherapy can lead to hair loss, which may include facial hair such as beards and mustaches. This occurs because chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, affecting not only cancer cells but also hair follicles. However, the extent and duration of hair loss can vary depending on the specific drugs used and individual responses to treatment. Most patients see regrowth of hair, including facial hair, after completing chemotherapy.
