Hello Doctor
I am 22 year old and i don't have a full beard and i also lack hair in my arm pits,on my chest and legs,i had a test a year back to check my testosterone level ...the range was 8-30 and my level was 13,i consulted a doctor he said your testosterone levels are ok,so what should i do now,increasing my testosterone would be of any benefit or it is just genetic?

Beard area is under androgenic stimulation not as much the level of the hormone, but the genetic expression at the hair root level.You have to accept this limitation,and even increasing testosterone will have no beneficial effect.
