A member asked:

What promotes beard/facial hair growth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Androgens : In adolescent boys and men, testosterone is the driving force behind facial hair growth. In women and adolescent girls this may also be true in cases of pcos or cah, for example, but elevations in other androgens will contribute as well.
