I'm a 27-year-old guy and I'm having trouble growing a beard on my cheeks. I do have some beard growth below my chin and my moustache looks normal, but my cheeks just won't fill in. Why am I dealing with this issue at my age, and is there anything I can do about it? I'm curious if there's a solution or if I'm just going to have to live with this.

That could be genetic issue like your family beard pattern could be same like yours,no need to worry there are successful treatment plans for that, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I'm a little confused about the instructions my dermatologist gave me for using Candid B lotion on my scalp. He mentioned something about 33 drops twice a day, but I can't remember if I should be applying it morning and night, or at different times. Also, should I be massaging it into my scalp? Would love some guidance on this, as I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.

Candid B lotion contains a combination of antifungals and corticosteroid components. It should be applied once in the morning and once in the night before bed. You should use the pulp of your fingers to gently massage the lotion into your scalp.
