It sounds like you may be experiencing a delay in facial hair growth. One possible solution is to use Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the areas where you want hair growth. Additionally, you can consider taking Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medications or supplements.

I'm Bibek, and I'm 18 years old. I've read lots of articles about boosting beard growth, but unfortunately, they've all come up short so far. I'm genuinely curiousdoes applying sperm on my face really help with growing a beard? Could you shed some light on this for me?

Applying sperm on the face is a common myth with no scientific basis for increasing beard growth. In fact, it's not recommended due to potential skin irritation and infection risks.

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable fungal infection on my scrotum. Its super painful, and I actually went through this same ordeal about a year ago. This time it's really red, sweaty, and has a painful liquid forming around it. What might be causing this to come back, and how can I get relief from it?

That needs to be treated ,as it is painful that might not be Fungal infection and could be folliculitis, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
