Question: i am 23 and have no facial hair..any treat without transplant and steroids?
Hi , before i consulted a doctor through online and he asked me to take minoxidil 10 and and Sustanon 250 injection but as Sustanon is steroid and may have side effects i was taking only Minoxidil 10 . After using minoxidil 10 for 10 months , i observed there were very few hair growing on my cheek.

Brief Answer:
DHT cream

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Good day and noted your concern.

Do you have lack of hair only in face, or in body as well? How is your hair growth in axillary and pubic areas. How is your erection and sexual function?
Did you use any medicines in recent past?

I have noted your blood report and Testosterone, Free testosterone and other hormones are good. Your facial hair follicles may be insensitive to testosterone.

You may use Dihydrotestosterone cream ( DHT cream) to face and it may improve facial hair growth.

Regards
Binu

Brief Answer:
Facial hair insensitivity to Testosterone

Detailed Answer:
You may have to use some shampoo which contain finasteride and minoxidil to prevent hairloss when you use ANDRACTIM cream.

The sensitivity of hair follicles to testosterone vary in skin. Your facial hair follicle may not be very sensitive to Testosterone and hence facial hair growth may be less. This is one explanation.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
