Welcome ajinthevalley,

Most people around here underestimate there growth and once in a while someone drops in and start to talk complete nonsense.

Your pics are more then big enough and still I can't see any patch you've mentioned. Ok, maybe your cheeks ar a bit less dense, but that's the story for more then 90% of the beards. All I see is a strong, very elegant beard with all the potential needed to become epic.
All you've got to do is enjoy the beard and wait, epicness is just around the corner.

Grtz,
baver
