I'm having a really hard time with fingerprint machines not recognizing my fingerprints. I've tried different machines, including the ones used for exams where they capture biometrics. The issue just keeps happening. Plus, the skin on my hands peels off frequently, like once every two months. I'm worried and not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's causing this and what I can do about it?

Question

I'm 23 years old and still can't grow a beard or moustache. I've been waiting for years and nothing's happening. Can you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

I've been dealing with really itchy rashes and red patches for the last three days and its getting pretty frustrating. I'm using Zovirax tablets and Ocuvir cream, but I'm not sure if they're really helping. Should I be doing anything else, or could this be something more serious?

Question

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Melaglow Cream and Melaglow Rich Cream, and I'm really curious which one is the best for my skin needs. Also, how long should I be using these creams to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone? I'm just a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice on this.
