Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I've been having some issues with acne, especially whiteheads, and I think it might be a side effect from the B12 injections I had. The injections were Nervijen Plus and had ingredients like Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Niacinamide. I got two shots, one on December 25th, 2017, and the other on January 1st, 2018. I'm wondering how long this acne could last? Every morning there's a new whitehead popping up. It's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty annoying. Is there anything I can do or take to make this stop?

The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

I'm 19 years old and really want to grow a thicker, fuller beard. Right now, my beard growth isn't as great as I'd like. I have some hair, but it's not as much as I want. Can you give me some tips to help me achieve a fuller beard? I'm really concerned about this and could use your advice. It's pretty important to me.

-At 19, your beard growth is still developing, and genetics play a big role. To encourage thicker growth, focus on a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins (like biotin), and minerals, get enough sleep, and avoid stress. Patience is key!
