Bald Patch On Beard

Whenever I use my laptop I usually rest my chin just under the keyboard while web surfing. And for a few months I've noticed that there's a small area on my chin that won't grow hair. Could me resting my chin on my laptop for long periods of time could have caused this?

Is there something I can do about this or is it genetic and will just always be there?
