What Causes Mustache To Not Grow Properly?

Sir, I am A P Prabhu, 50 years age, 65 kgs & 168cm height. I have peculiar problem. A patch (1sq cm) of Mustache has not grown since my teen. Tried some medication initially for few years with no success & now I am used to it, since there no much difficulty. As per knowledge, I had no injury to that portion. Pls suggest me regarding this.

Hello,

As per your case history of not growing of mustache, my treatment advice is:

1. Do not squeeze the hair, as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a Tacrolimus 0.03 %ointment twice daily on affected skin.

If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
