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.
