I'm dealing with a Vitamin D deficiency and white patches on my skin, so I've started taking Vit D MGD3 tablets once a week and Calcium tablets every other day, as advised by my doctor. But now after about 23 days, I'm getting really bad mouth ulcers. I've even switched the brand of the tablets and consulted different doctors three times, but the ulcers keep coming back as soon as I start these medicines. What do you think is causing this, and what should I do?

I've got really thin facial hair, and it's not growing in the way I'd like. Do you have any advice on how I can get a fuller, thicker beard? Also, what's your take on using laser treatment for this issue?

To promote fuller and thicker beard growth, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% applied topically on the face once daily. Additionally, taking biotin supplements can also help improve hair growth. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair growth. As for laser treatment for beard growth, it is not a commonly recommended option. Laser treatments are more commonly used for hair removal rather than hair growth. It's best to stick with topical treatments and supplements for promoting beard growth.
