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 been dealing with Melasma for about 45 years now, and it's really noticeable because of my fair skin. There are these dark patches on my cheekbones. I tried cosmo peel and laser treatments about two years ago, but they didn't help at all. A dermatologist suggested I use Triluma cream twice a week, so I've been trying it out for the past two weeks. My skin's started flaking and feels really dry, and whenever I put on my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen, I get this burning, tingling sensation. Is this normal?
