I'm 27 and I'm still not growing a beard. My moustache is kind of there, but my beard just won't come in. Is this something I should be worried about? What can I do to help it grow?

It's not uncommon for beard growth to vary widely due to genetics or hormonal factors. If there's no underlying medical issue like low testosterone or alopecia, it's usually not a serious problem. A dermatologist or endocrinologist can evaluate and suggest treatments, such as minoxidil or supplements, if appropriate.

I'm really worried because I've noticed more and more dark spots and blackness appearing on my face, especially around my eyes and under them. It seems like my face is getting darker every day. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to help it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing hyperpigmentation. You can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to apply the cream on the affected areas twice a day, and remember to follow up with your skincare routine.
