I'm struggling with my moustache not growing in the middle, and it's been this way since I started noticing facial hair. My beard also isn't as dense as I'd like. Interestingly, my dad has a really full moustache. Could there be a genetic reason or something else at play here? What can I do to encourage more growth?

I've been dealing with perioral dermatitis and using Desowen lotion has been really helpful. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant and read somewhere that it's not safe anymore. Are there any non-steroid alternatives to this lotion that I could use during pregnancy? I'm a bit concerned and would love some advice.

That could be due to Fungal Infection or Vitamin Defeciency,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management,and consume balanced diet

I've been dealing with a lot of itching and irritation, especially in my private area, and I've found that using prickly heat powder after a shower really helps. I'm wondering if it's safe to use it every day in that sensitive area or if it might cause any issues in the long run. Is this a normal practice, or should I be concerned about any side effects?

No,it is not advised .

I'm noticing these weird rashes popping up on my chest and back. They have a round shape and seem scaly in the middle. There's a bit of a reddish tint, and my skin is actually peeling from these spots. I'm really worried about what kind of infection this might be. Could you tell me more about it and suggest any medications I should consider?

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .
