Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I want to know about beard. Now i am 22. I have very patchy beard and its very slow for growing and beard also not matured. I dont have any genetic issue for these. All my family members have good beard. I checked with my grand parents as well. I tested about my testosterone its seems ok. Please help me on this.
Fungal or bacterial infections which can affect hair growth should be ruled out. Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata can also be the cause. All measures taken for scalp hair growth will work for beard hair. Adequate hydration, healthy diet, multivitamin supplements will be beneficial. Scalp vasodilators like minoxidil can increase blood flow to scalp and stimulate beard growth.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
