I've got really dry skin and I'm struggling to find a good cream. I tried using dewsoft cream, but after about three days, I ended up with some small pimple-like bumps on my face. Could you please recommend something else? I'm really worried and would love your advice.

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.

How long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?

The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.
