Irregular Facial Hair Growth

Hey; I'm assuming a lot of other guys on here have this problem. I've got facial hair under the chin, plenty there. But on my face, asides from moustache and sideburns nothing grows apart from a couple of squiggly ones. I don't get much if any acne anymore, the occasional thing but that shouldn't be why. I also do have manboobs, but why is this torturing me and will it go away, or am I doomed to never grow a beard?

I don't look as good all babyfaced, a bit of hair suits me. And it would ease shaving!
i am sure things will settle down eventually, you are probably jsut a late bloomer.the fact u have man boobs means that you are still going through puberty (or you are overweight?) but its somethign that will settle eventually, most men don't start gettign proper facial ahri until they are in their 20's, i'm 17 comin gup 18 and well i get a lot under the chn and around my jawbone, but nothing that great.leave it a few years and it will settle, eveyone's body goes through different things at different times, you will get ther eventually.

It comes with time. My beardy stubble did, at one point it was all on the left

It does grow there but it doesn't grow as fast im guessin? Try and not shave for 5 days and see what happens.

yeah i'm 20 and have the same thing (not the manboobs though). it'll come with time. if your fair haired there's more chance it'll take longer for all your hair to come through. my cousin was 26 before he had to start shaving properly

Hey, yeah i'm 20 and i'm the same. I get quite thick stubble under my chin and on my top lip, but hardly any on the side of my face, it's weird. To be honest though, i'm not that bothered because the people i've spoken to who do have a lot of facial hair say it's a pain in the arse having to shave so often. I guess we should enjoy it while we still can lol

Yeah, it's nothing. I have fairly thick hair growth, but a bald patch on either cheek (with hair over the top and underneath them). Not quite sure what you can do to "fill the gap", but then I have fairly sesnsitive skin and bleed quite a bit, so maybe it's a good thing I don't have another patch to shave!
i got a beard love it, but some guys aren't capable of growing em, but you might just need to wait
I rub my goatee in your face. Seriously, though, it can take ages for proper facial hair to develop, and it doesn't mean you're some kind of weird underdeveloped freak until it does.
wow, i never would have thought that guys worried about their facial hair so much. Its almost like girls talking about their stomaches . . .

i've never seen a man with as much facial hair as me at my age (18) :smile: i'm must waiting for the bits to the left and right of my moustache to fill up and for it to fill up a bit higher. my neck is thick as a man's.

everyone is different though. one of my friend's doesnt even get soft hairs yet let alone stubble
