I've been battling with ringworm for a while now. I saw a skin specialist, but I didn't notice any real improvement. I've tried using some general skin creams like cebet and btex, and even the dk jel, but the ringworm just keeps getting worse. Now I've got these 67 rings on my left leg and hand. Can you suggest any effective treatments?

I'm 28 and haven't been able to grow a proper beard. My dad has a really good one, so I don't think it's a genetic or hormonal issue. Is there anything I can do about this?

Getting hair on your face is one of the last changes of puberty. On average, boys start noticing hair on their face around age 15 or 16. Exactly when the changes of puberty occur can vary a lot. And how fast the changes occur can also vary. That means some boys start growing a beard very early in their teenage years. Others don't notice a beard starting until they are much older. Just like all guys aren't the same height, the amount of facial hair varies from one guy to the next. That's because the amount of hair you have, how dark or light it is, and where it grows on your face, is largely controlled by your genes. That doesn't mean your beard will necessarily look like your dad's. What it does mean is that somewhere in your family tree, there are men whose beards followed a pattern like yours.

Is there really a chance to regrow hair with PRP treatment? Ive had one session already and I'm not noticing any difference. Should I be concerned, or is it too soon to expect results?

-PRP can help in some cases, but results often take 3-6 months and multiple sessions. Stick with the plan, and discuss other options with your doctor if progress feels slow.

I've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.
