My beard growth is really patchy it only grows on the outer edges but stays thin in the middle and front. I've been taking multivitamins but haven't seen much improvement. I'm hesitant to try rogaine because of the side effects, and surgery isn't an option for me right now. There are some small hairs, but they haven't gotten thicker in over a year. Any idea what could help?

Beard density is mostly genetic; PRP or microneedling might help, but results vary and should be dermatologist-guided.

I'm dealing with a fungal infection that my doctor diagnosed about a month ago. I've been on medication, taking Candiforce 200 twice daily, and using O2 derm cream. But now I'm noticing some stretch marks and they're spreading. Is there any nonsteroidal cream you could recommend for this? Also, a friend mentioned using Alograce bathing bar from Mankind. Is that safe to use for my skin condition? Would love your take on this!

For stretch marks, consider using non-steroid creams like coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, or creams containing silicone, vitamin E, or retinol; as for Alograce bathing bar, it's specifically formulated for fungal infections and is generally safe to use, but discontinue if you experience any irritation

I'm a 23-year-old woman, and my dermatologist recommended Keraglo Men for me. I'm a bit concerned, is it safe for me to use it since it's labeled "Men"?

Keraglo Men is a supplement specifically formulated for men's hair and skin health, containing ingredients like biotin, keratin, and saw palmetto. While the ingredients are generally safe, there are some considerations for a 23-year-old female: Hormonal considerations: Saw palmetto, in particular, may affect hormone levels, which could be a concern for women, especially those with hormonal imbalances or taking birth control. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's essential to exercise caution when taking any supplement, as some ingredients may pass into breast milk or affect fetal development.
