I'm 23 years old and still can't grow a beard or moustache. I've been waiting for years and nothing's happening. Can you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a delay in facial hair growth. One possible solution is to use Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the areas where you want hair growth. Additionally, you can consider taking Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medications or supplements.

Question

I've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?

Question

I've developed a skin rash that began on my inner thighs and now has spread to my shoulders, ankles, buttocks, and the side of my stomach. It started out red and has turned black, with little itchy bumps. Should I be worried about this, and what could be causing it?

Question

I'm thinking about stopping minoxidil, but I'm worried my hair might start falling out again if I do. If that happens, what should I do to manage it? Any advice would be great!
