I'm 21 and I'm worried because I still don't have a proper beard or mustache growth. Is there something I can do to help them grow?

Facial hair growth can be influenced by genetics and hormones. One option to promote beard and mustache growth is to use Minoxidil solution 5%. You can apply it on the areas where you want hair growth twice a day. It may take several months to see results, so patience is key. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.

I've had this really itchy circular ring on my foot for about a month now. It started out as just a patch with blisters, but now it's turned into this ring shape that's driving me crazy. I've been using antiseptic cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could this be, and how should I treat it?
