Greetings, Some boys develop facial hair at a later date. This should not dishearten you in any way. If you have all of your other secondary sexual characters in place, then delayed facial hair may even be due to hereditary issues - that is your father / or elder brother also may have developed facial hair late. You can try certain hair growth boosting peptide lotions on the beard area - however the efficacy for facial hair growth enhancement remains to be proven. Further queries may be sent ot follow up messaging / see a qualified dermatologist near you for evaluation/prescription of medications. Warm regards
