I've been taking Becadexamine multivitamins for the past three weeks and I've noticed my skin has become fairer. Is this typical? Is that how multivitamins usually work? Also, when's the best time to take them?

It is not common for multivitamins to directly cause changes in skin color. Becadexamine is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals. The change in your skin color may be due to other factors or could be unrelated to the multivitamin intake. The right time to take multivitamins is usually in the morning with breakfast to help ensure optimal absorption.

I'm 17 and still don't have a full beard or mustache. Could there be something wrong with me? Is there a way I can speed up the growth? I have a few hairs on my chin but not across my entire face. What can I do to help it along?

Delayed facial hair growth at 17 can be due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, or nutritional deficiencies; to promote growth, ensure adequate sleep, exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet rich in protein, biotin, and vitamins D and B, consider supplements like biotin or fish oil, and consult a dermatologist

I've been experiencing some side effects on my neck from using melameate cream consistently. There are these dark, long-shaped spots and it's starting to itch. How can I treat this? And if I decide to use the cream again, should I use it continuously or take breaks? If breaks are needed, how often should I take them?

You may be experiencing a reaction to the melamet cream. To treat the dark long shaped spots and itching on your neck, you can use a mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. It may be best to switch to a different medication if the current one is giving you adverse reactions.
