Greetings. There are subsets of normal individuals who do not develop adequate beard or mustache for their age. You can wait for another year or so and see if it comes. The other option is to meet a Dermatologist and share your concerns. Laboratory evaluation may be needed to rule in or rule out any hormonal cause of such issue. Many a times, it is constitutional i.e you do not have any problem but your hairs have limited capacity. No wonder medications will help. Biotin is a hair growth supplement used by some dermatologists. Apply your knowledge and reasoning and decide.
Next Steps
Meet a Dermatologist for better understanding and treatment plan. Hope it helps you.
Health Tips
Avoid Self Medications.
