I'm 18 and still don't have a mustache or beard. My face basically looks like a baby's, with no hair at all. Is there anything I can do to help encourage beard growth? It's kind of worrying me a bit.

One option you can consider is using Minoxidil solution. You can apply 2% Minoxidil solution on your face twice a day. Make sure to wash your face before applying and allow it to fully dry before applying the solution. Remember to be consistent with the application for best results. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress levels can also support hair growth.

I've had this lump next to my nipple for what feels like forever, and I'm not really sure how long it's been there. It's kinda weird because the lump seems to get taller when my nipple gets hard, and when it's soft, the lump flattens out. It's not painful, doesn't move around, and it's pretty soft. I'm a bit worried. Why is this happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection between my legs that's been bothering me for the past few months. I've tried using antifungal creams like Soframycin, Fourderm, and Betnovate N, and while they seemed to help initially, the infection always returns after a few days, especially around my private parts. Can you suggest any stronger or more effective antifungal treatments that might help clear this up for good? It's starting to really concern me.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
