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.

I've been taking shilajit tablets every day and also, I admit, I engage in masturbation daily. I'm getting a bit worried about whether there's any negative impact from doing both of these at the same time. Could this be harmful or is it okay?

I've been dealing with some hair fall issues and saw a doctor who recommended Kz lotion and Recute hair oil. While the hair fall has reduced, I'm not really seeing any new hair growth. My hair still feels pretty weak. I've heard about using egg masks for hairare they actually good? Also, are there any foods that can help with hair growth? I'm really hoping to get my hair strong and thick. Any suggestions?

Minoxidil is known to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. You can apply it to the scalp twice daily. Additionally, you can continue using the Kz lotion and Recute hair oil as prescribed by your doctor. Egg mask can be beneficial for hair as it is rich in proteins and nutrients that can nourish the hair follicles.

I'm having a puzhuvettu issue with both my head and beard that's been really bothering me for the past three months. Can you give me some advice on what I should do to fix this problem?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a fungal infection such as ringworm. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected areas for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-4 weeks to help clear up the infection. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry to prevent further spread of the infection.
