Why isn't my beard (moustache) growing; I'm 21 years old?
Currently 21-years-old, but why isn't my beard growing? Is it genetic or what? Of course, the hair on my head grows and regenerates perfectly well and, uhm, so does pubic hair... LOL... Any are there any drugs, hormone supplements or any product that specifically stimulates the growth of hair, especially hair (but not limited to) on the beard and head?
Further questions you can answer for me, related to this matter, is: Is it a fundamental "error" in the person's genetic makeup. But then what we really want to know is WHAT gene is it? If we somehow target this gene, localize it, and somehow manipulate it in the embryo of an animal (or us human)? And why is our pubic hair so much "thicker" than the hair on our heads?
Silly questions, I know, but it's actually one of the interesting questions posed in the genetics community, such as, for example, why do some people's nails grow longer while others have nails that stay the same length?
NOTE>This question applies to the field of genetics as well as human physiology, therefore I have posted it in more than one area.
I need help with Acne, blackhead, enlarged pores, scaring, really oily skin, and want to whiten skin?
So first of all my skin is oily from genetics and slightly sensitive. I have very mild acne but a lot scaring due to past acne. I have a lot of black heads and a lot of enlarged pores. My skin care routine is cleanser toner moisturizer for night and day and a egg white mask when i get home from school 7 days a week and exfoliation with sugar and olive oil before getting in the shower 7 days a week. I really want to get rid of my acne, black head, and enlarged pores and also want to even out my skin because my cheeks are lighter than the rest of my face. I was thinking of using cucumbers or potatoes or tomatoes to whiten my skin but want to fix my skin care routine first. what should i do please help.my questions are how should i fix my routine? how can i improve my acne, blackheads, enlarged pores,and scars? And how can i whiten my skin naturally and which is better cucumbers,potatoes, or tomatoes for whitening (i know i cant use lemon because it stings to much)?
How do I get taller?
Basically I want to do basketball. Yes I know its all about genetics, and I know stretching wont help. drink lots of milk, exercise, and have a good diet, but I'm 5'8 with shoes on. I want to grow to 6'0 at least with or without shoes. What can I do? No I will not take any human growth hormones. Advise me some natural techniques if any, or what type of diet I should have. My parents are not tall, they are 5'5, although on my mons side my uncles are all 6'0 tall and higher. What can I do? No I do not want shoes that will make me seem taller. I just want to accomplish this. I'm 16 if anything counts and I hope my growth spurt hasn't already happened because if it did I'm screwed since I didn't grow much. Please advise me.
What is there at walmart that will help me grow taller?
I know that they dont sell HGH... and i dont even know it HGH works... I'm 19.. 5'6'' and hoping to grow 2 inches before i'm 21... so i want the right nutrient and exercise that will help me achieve my goal.
BS, its not all genetics... i've seen twins that are identical but are an inch different size.. yeah.. but walmart doesnt sell platforms... hehe.. um.. milk does the body good and it was funny.. so.. i'll pick that one as the best answer.. unless you have a better one
