Moustache not growing after shaving
Hi, few months back, after a shave at home, a part of my moustache is not growing. The blade was slightly old and I shaved on the opposite direction of the hair growth. There is some growth again but the moustache hair strands are light in colour, also have a few strands which are hard and black in colour just like normal moustache. Also some patches are still smooth with no growth at all. Please suggest suitable medication.
