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've been using minoxidil and procapil for my hair loss, but my hair's been really dry lately, and I'm worried it might be making the hair loss worse. Is it okay if I use hair oil along with these treatments? Could the dryness be contributing to the hair issue?

Yes .

So, I'm 17 and curious if it's okay for me to take beard growth pills with Biotin? They say it's for 18 and older, but I just want to be sure about it.
