I'm struggling with not having a beard on my face. Are there any medicines that can help me grow one? I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend something.

I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?

Question

I've been dealing with lichen planus for around four years now, and the spots it left on my skin have turned really dark. I'm really worried about how they look. Can you suggest any ways to lighten or remove these dark spots?
