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 this constant itching all over my body for the past couple of weeks. The weird part is that when I itch, my skin starts to swell up and I get these temporary rashes, especially on my back. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's causing it, and I can't get to a good dermatologist right now. Do you have any idea what this might be or what I can do in the meantime?
