Have Light Hair On Face, Taken Sustanon. Should I Continue It Despite Poor Results?
Hi i am Rohit 24 years old. Still i dont grow beard and mustache though light hairs do grow on my face and i shave once a week. But the problem is that the hairs are not hard and if i want to have proper beard than i cant because those light hairs will keep growing slowly. For this i consulted a doctor and he gave me injections( sustanon 250). Now its been 6 months using the injections and still i cant see fair results. Can you suggest should i continue those injections ? Or to stop them

Dear Rohit. I empathise with your particular predicament. Before starting these injections, it may have been wise to do a hormonal assay to see if there was any 'reason' for the scanty growth. You may still run these tests at an authorised laboratory. Your treating dermatologist will be in the best position to advise if you should continue with the injections. I would stop them & use topical 2% minoxidil solutions on the area for a 3 month period twice daily on a dry surface. Good luck & hope you develop healthy whiskers!
