View allI've been having this issue with my moustache where the hair just doesn't grow evenly, unlike my beard, which is completely fine. I've gone months without shaving, hoping it'll fill out, but it never seems to. I even tried using minoxidil, but it didn't help. I'm really hoping for some advice on what I can do to even it out or get a full growth. Any tips?

I'm currently on homeopathy treatment, but it's not working out for me. I tried allopathy treatment before too, but my pimples just won't go away. I'm feeling really scared and disappointed about this whole situation. What should I do? Can you help?
I understand your concern about your persistent pimples despite trying homeopathic and allopathic treatments. In such cases, you can consider using a topical retinoid cream such as Adapalene (e.g. Differin) at night. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide gel (e.g. Benzac AC) in the morning. Make sure to apply sunscreen during the day while using these products. If your pimples are severe, you may also benefit from oral antibiotics like Doxycycline. It's important to use these medications as directed by a healthcare professional and to be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.

I've got a bit of a dilemma here. When I was a kid, I came down with typhoid, and my doctor had me take roxithromycin. Not long after, I noticed a little white spot on my skin and ever since then, I've avoided that medication. Now, I'm down with fever, cough, and a cold, and another doctor has prescribed me roxid 150. I'm really worried about taking it because of my past experience. Do you think it's safe for me to take, or should I consider an alternative? Would love some guidance here.
Roxid 150 is also a form of Roxithromycin, so it may not be suitable for you if you had a reaction to it in the past. An alternative antibiotic that can be considered for your current symptoms of fever, cough, and cold is Azithromycin. You can take Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
