Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Facial hair are a sign of puberty. Density of facial hair can vary from person to person and with age. Facial hair is one of the secondary sexual characteristic along with axillary and pubic hair which i guess if normal, no intervention is needed.
Biotin would actually wont help in your case. You can ask for serum total testosterone levels to detect if there is really some underlying cause. You are just 17 yrs old and i am sure you will get a better growth with time.
