Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission. Treatments are available to help you manage symptoms. And you can incorporate lifestyle habits and coping strategies to help you live better with psoriasis

I'm 16 and I'm noticing that I have a mustache and a bit of hair on my chin, but nothing on my cheeks, and my sideburns are pretty small. I'm feeling a bit self-conscious because everyone in my family seems to have a good beard except for one of my uncles. Someone mentioned that shaving every day for 20 days might help me grow a beard. Is that true? I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to help the hair come in, especially on my cheeks.

thats patchy beard and there are many successful treatment modalities avaialable,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really concerned about the melanin on my face. I'm looking for a way to reduce it without dealing with side effects. Are there any creams or tablets that can permanently get rid of melanin?

There is no getting rid of melanin completely in a short span of time.One should take necessary precautions like using good amount of sunscreen while going out and covering your face properly with scarf and so on.There are skin whitening treatments which you can try.Consult a dermatologist for the same.

I'm 18 and still don't have a mustache or beard. My face basically looks like a baby's, with no hair at all. Is there anything I can do to help encourage beard growth? It's kind of worrying me a bit.

One option you can consider is using Minoxidil solution. You can apply 2% Minoxidil solution on your face twice a day. Make sure to wash your face before applying and allow it to fully dry before applying the solution. Remember to be consistent with the application for best results. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress levels can also support hair growth.
