Answer
It is unfortunate to hear about your medical problem. As regards to you keeping a beard if this is not possible and you are not removing the hair from your one side of your face to imitate the non-Muslims or for any other reason accept medical then, Insha Allah, you will be excused.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
