I Seem to be getting it in small patches at various points in face, not sure if should stop shaving for a while but then I can't see it being shaving related. Anyone ever experienced this? If so was there any solution to it? Thanks for any help

If its in one or two spot it might be ringworm. if its a few more it might be stress related. I'd see my GP

Alopecia areata is believed to be an autoimmune disease resulting from a breach in the immune privilege of the hair follicles.[4]Risk factors include a family history of the condition.[2] Among identical twins if one is affected the other has about a 50% chance of also being affected.[2] The underlying mechanism involves failure by the body to recognize its own cells with subsequent immune mediated destruction of the hair follicle.[2]
There is no cure for the condition.[2] Efforts may be used to try to speed hair regrowth such as cortisone injections.[1][2]Sunscreen, head coverings to protect from cold and sun, and glasses if the eyelashes are missing is recommended.[2] In some cases the hair regrows and the condition does not reoccur.[2] In others hair loss and regrowth occurs over years.[2] Among those in whom all body hair is lost less than 10% recover.[5]
 
I suffered from 10p peice size bald patch on my chin for years. Sometimes it would grow in white?? It eventually grew back and it has not reappeared for about 10yr now. Get to Docs just to be sure, mine never moved about.
