I'm a 23-year-old guy struggling to grow a beard. Do you think using minoxidil could help? If so, what dosage would be safe and effective? Are there specific brands or instructions I should follow? I'm really eager to grow a beard.

I've been dealing with some skin issues after using cosmolite cream on my face for about 45 days. My skin turned black and has become super sensitive since then. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to be helping. I went to see a dermatologist, and she suggested I go through 8 sittings to lighten my skin back to its original color. I'm really anxious if this treatment would be suitable for my skin, and I'd like to know if there are any possible side effects involved. Could you provide some guidance on this?

yes that would help you follow your doctors advice
