I'm 27 and I'm still not growing a beard. My moustache is kind of there, but my beard just won't come in. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to help it grow?

It's not uncommon for beard growth to vary widely due to genetics or hormonal factors. If there's no underlying medical issue like low testosterone or alopecia, it's usually not a serious problem. A dermatologist or endocrinologist can evaluate and suggest treatments, such as minoxidil or supplements, if appropriate.

Question

I'm experiencing skin rashes all over my body and have been struggling with this issue for about a month now. It's even affecting my private parts. Could this be something serious, or is it something that's treatable? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my hair situation. I've been using the androanagen solution with sebowash shampoo as my dermatologist prescribed. But recently, they switched my shampoo to anaphase, and now I'm noticing more hair falling out, especially from the crown area. I'm worried it might be the new shampoo. What do you think I should do?

Question

I've been a bit worried about my hair lately. I shaved my head around three months ago, and while most of my hair seems to have grown back normally, the crown of my head appears less dense. After shaving, I started using onion juice, and I noticed that when my hair is wet, you can see my scalp under the light. I recently trimmed my hair to about 1.5 inches, and now it looks denser. Before shaving, my hair seemed normal and didn't have any bald spots, plus using Fortene anti-dandruff shampoo helped with my dandruff issues. Could this be early signs of baldness, or am I overthinking it?
