Is it okay to use dermocalm lotion for pimples? I got viral fever a couple of days ago, and now I have a lot of pimples on my back because of the heat. Could you let me know if applying dermocalm would help with this?

I'm 20 and having a hard time with beard and mustache growth. I started seeing some hair on my chin about four years ago, but it never spread out over my whole face. It's been frustrating not seeing much progress since then. Could you suggest some treatments or medicines that might help with full beard growth?

I'm a bit confused about how to use the Qsera hair serum my dermatologist recommended. Should I be applying it with my fingers directly on my scalp, or is it supposed to be sprayed all over my hair? My doctor mentioned something about spraying, but I'm not entirely sure.

Q-Sera hair serum is meant to be applied with fingers as suggested in the directions.
