I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've got barely any facial hair. I'm really curious about what kind of doctor I should talk to about this beard growth issue. I feel like everyone else my age has a bit more going on in the facial hair department, and it's kind of worrying me. Could it be something to do with hormones or maybe genetics? Any advice on who to consult would be awesome.

At your age, it is common to have minimal facial hair growth. You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and discussion of treatment options. In some cases, minoxidil solution can be prescribed to promote facial hair growth.

So I've been dealing with these pimple-like small bumps on my nose for about 4 years now and they're not like regular pimples since they don't hurt and never seem to disappear. Sometimes I get other pimples on my cheeks and nose but those usually clear up within a month or so. These other bumps are a different story - they're skin-colored, small, and seem more like cysts because they just won't go away no matter what facewash or scrub I try. My skin is pretty clear otherwise, but these tiny bumps are really bothering me. How can I get rid of them?
To help reduce the appearance of these bumps, you can try using a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel, applying a thin layer to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a salicylic acid cleanser, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Remember to moisturize your skin regularly and use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. If these bumps persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
