I'm really worried because I found this circular indentation on my chest, and now I have these reddish spots on my skin. There's a bit of pain, and I'm also having trouble breathing and swallowing properly. It's starting to freak me out. What could this be, and should I be really concerned about it?

My beard growth is really patchy it only grows on the outer edges but stays thin in the middle and front. I've been taking multivitamins but haven't seen much improvement. I'm hesitant to try rogaine because of the side effects, and surgery isn't an option for me right now. There are some small hairs, but they haven't gotten thicker in over a year. Any idea what could help?

Beard density is mostly genetic; PRP or microneedling might help, but results vary and should be dermatologist-guided.
