I'm 20 and having a hard time with beard and mustache growth. I started seeing some hair on my chin about four years ago, but it never spread out over my whole face. It's been frustrating not seeing much progress since then. Could you suggest some treatments or medicines that might help with full beard growth?

View allI've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis that don't itch or bother me at all. They've been there for over a year now, and Im just wondering what these might be. I've attached a photo for reference. Could you let me know what these bumps are?
May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.

I've been seeing white hair popping up on my scalp, beard, and chest, so I went to a dermatologist who recommended I take kerablak tablets and use altris gel. But I'm really just wondering if these are the right treatments for my issue. Plus, altris gel is pretty pricey, so I'm curious if there's a more affordable alternative out there. Any advice or suggestions?
Kerablak tablets, containing Amla extract, and Altris gel, containing Melanin-boosting agents, are commonly prescribed for promoting hair pigmentation and addressing premature graying; however, it's essential to note that results may vary and these treatments may not completely reverse graying; as for alternatives to Altris gel, you can discuss with your dermatologist other options like Minoxidil-based gels or serums, or natural alternatives like Coconut oil, Amla oil, or Rosemary essential oil, but always consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and body, and I've heard doctors refer to it as acne. For the past two weeks, Ive been taking Hamdard Safi, and it looks like it's helping clear up my acne. However, I'm concerned because Ive read and heard from some folks, including a few doctors, that Safi might have a lot of arsenic, which could be bad for your body, especially your kidneys. Can you shed some light on whether it's actually safe to keep taking Safi?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
