I've noticed some black lines appearing on a few of my fingernails over the past few months, and now they're on about two or three fingers. I'm pretty worried and curious about what this might mean. Can you shed some light on what could be causing these lines and how I might be able to treat them? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.

I'm 23 years old and still can't grow a beard or moustache. I've been waiting for years and nothing's happening. Can you give me some advice on what I should do about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a delay in facial hair growth. One possible solution is to use Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the areas where you want hair growth. Additionally, you can consider taking Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily to promote hair growth. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medications or supplements.
