I've noticed that my beard growth is really sparse, which means I can only manage a French cut style. I'm curious if there's any good medicine out there that can help with this. Any suggestions on what I can try?

I've just noticed these strange red lines on my left thumb, index finger, and ring finger. They seem to appear in pairs of two. I'm 20, and this happened right after I did a 30-minute mini trampoline workout. Could the workout have something to do with it? Should I be concerned about these marks? What could this be?

I've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?
