I've been trying to grow a beard and it's been a struggle. I've used both a razor and a trimmer, but Ive got no real growth on my face. I even took biotin for a month, but nothing changed. I'm 22 and about to start my career in the corporate world, and I'd really like to have a beard. What should I do?

I've noticed a white substance forming on the shaft of my penis whenever I pull back the skin, and this has been happening for the last 6 months. Also, I've realized that the hair on my scrotum has turned yellow and become thicker. I suspect this could be trichomycosis pubis. Can someone help me figure out what's going on or suggest any solutions?
