I've had a broad forehead since I was born, and I've been using minoxidil to try and grow some hair there. I've started noticing a few small hairs beginning to grow. Do you think they'll get longer? Also, how many months should I continue using minoxidil before I can expect to see more results?

View allI'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.

I've been dealing with eczema for about a year now, and I'm using Sorifix Ointment like my doctor suggested, but it's weird because the symptoms keep fluctuating. It gets better, then worse. Is this normal? What else can I do to manage it more consistently?
There must be some triggering factor,identify it and avoid it that will help you

I'm experiencing this burning sensation and red mark on my testis skin, and it's been bothering me for the past three months. I'm getting a lot of sweating too. I've seen a couple of doctors already; the first one suggested Canesten and Fusibactb, which I used for two months, but they didn't really help. The second doctor recommended Beclox lotion, but I'm still not getting much relief. Sometimes I feel a bit better, but it's not consistent. I'm really concerned about this and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice or suggest anything else I might try?
You can try using Lotrimin Ultra cream twice a day on the affected area for 2 weeks. Additionally, taking an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks can also help in treating any underlying fungal infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
