Glutathione for Skin Whitening: Pros and Cons
Can I take glutathione for skin whitening
Dermatologist
Answered on 5th Dec '24
Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

Can large open pores and chicken pox scars be completely removed from face
Female | 25
When skin's injured or stretched, pores enlarge, and scars emerge, leaving unflattering marks. Although pores remain forever, their appearance diminishes. Laser treatments, chemical peels unclog, smooth for improvement. Chicken pox scars too fade with similar remedies. Still, seek a dermatologist's expertise. Their guidance personalizes treatments and ensures optimal skin renewal.

Male | 37
The itch can be so unpleasant when it lasts a long time. The causes could be dry skin, allergies, rashes, or stress. Visit a dermatologist when creams and pills don't solve the problem. The doctor can diagnose the itching, and then determine a suitable course of action for you.

Iam humaira. My age 20.My toe nail become black without reason another toe nail also small black spot developing
Female | 20
The blackening of toe nail can be fungal infection of the nail. You could have contracted it while playing sports, sweaty shoes, using elses socks, or even during a pedicure in salon. Avoid all the above situations. Keep feet clean and dry. Start applying Anti fungal nail laquer as Nail on or Iwin on the nail each day for 3 months as local antifungal and contact a dermatologist near you for oral medications if more feet nails are getting infected. It takes 6 months atleast for the nail to recover and get a new nail.

I am 30 years old and have pimples-acne for last 4-5 years.i have used all types medicines and acne treatments but not satisfied results.please suggest me ,what i do ???
Female | 30
Appearance of acne or continuation of acne beyond 25 years of age is called adult acne. Adult acne is most often associated with hormonal imbalance, stress, inappropriate use of skin care products etc.Most common causes include PCOS in women, insulin resistance, certain drugs etc. Treating the underlying cause is important for desirable results. Thorough history, analysis of skin, review of the drugs used, blood investigations may help a dermatologist understand your skin and make a proper diagnosis for satisfactory results. So please consult an experienced dermatologist. You may also need procedural treatments like salicylic peels, comedone extraction along with topical and oral medications like retinoids, hormonal medications.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry
Male | 26
Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

Male | 52
It could be because of a fungus attack, termed Candidiasis, also the one known as oral thrush. This can happen after unprotected sex, smoking, or using alcohol. To deal with this practice, antifungal remedies are written by a dermatologist, and refrain from smoking and heavy drinking. Using a good personal hygiene routine has other essential roles to play, too.

I have had an abscess several times over the past year, I’ve tried to get rid of it on my own an that’s not working. I’m worried that it’s gonna get bad, my head hurts only on that side an my throat as well it’s so swelled
Female | 41
An abscess is a pocket of pus that can occur in different body parts. If you also have a continuous headache and a swelling of the throat on the same side, the abscess is probably causing more problems. Treatment by a dermatologist is the only road to get proper treatment. Procrastination of this could be a cause of more serious problems.

I think my belly button piercing is infected
Female | 16
If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis treatment can be done
Male | 37
Little white spots can appear on the skin, mainly on the arms and legs, due to fewer pigment cells caused by aging and sun exposure. There's no treatment, but you can prevent it from worsening by using sunscreen and avoiding too much sun.

Hi doctor i am 13 years old and i have itching in the middle of my thigh and i dont know what is it i think in Philippines this is called hadhad and i think its fungal and what is the medicine of it
Male | 13
Without a physical examination, it is difficult to understand your problem and the cause of it. I advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper diagnosis of your condition. Based on that, he may recommend the right treatment for your problem which can include antibiotic or anti-inflammatory creams.

Face pimple itching and redness and spots what can use medicine to relif pimple 2 month ago I am very tens
Female | Zeenat
The skin’s pores can often get clogged by bacteria or hormonal changes. If a pimple is bothering you, try an acne spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and clear the pores. Remember to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and avoid picking at the pimple to prevent scarring.

Hi mam! I had been facing a bacterial infection around the gaps of my toes. Yesterday the pus was coming out of it and now it's swollen and painful. I can't walk properly from last 2 weeks because of it. I tried a lot to cure it by soaking my legs in hot water and applying normal moisturizer cream.
Female | 20
It appears like a serious wound infection in your big toe. This case needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor straight away. You may need to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist to get the problem sorted as soon as possible to avoid more complications.

Can you wear acrylics nails for a tonsillectomy
Female | 15
Acrylic nails aren't recommended before tonsillectomy surgery. Those fake nails could harbor germs, making hand hygiene tricky. During tonsillectomy, doctors remove tonsils, often due to infections or breathing issues. Clean hands prevent surgical site infections, so natural nails are only for this procedure. Wait until you've recovered fully before getting acrylics again.

I have a small black spot on the top of my right wrist. I don't know how to say it. It has a structure like tiny dots around it. But it doesn't hurt.It's normal as always. It's been coming for two months now Also on my left hand, I had a small cut about a month ago. It has healed but there are small dots around it like on the right arm.I did not take any medicine for this. I used a powder for sweat rashes on my neck. It seems to me that this has something to do with it.
Male | 22
The black spot with the tiny dots around it you are describing may be a mole or a freckle. The dots that are near the cut that is healed might be either scars or pigmentation changes. The powder that you use for your sweat rashes on your neck may not be the main cause of these spots. However, it is still important to keep the area clean and moisturized. It is better to see a dermatologist if the problem worsens or you are noticing more changes.

Hi DR. I am 22 years old. I am very worried because of my hair fall randomly. Even my scalp is completely exposed.I have not taken any medicine yet. What is the solution??
Male | 22
Losing some hair is normal, but if you notice that a lot of hair is falling out and your scalp becomes visible, it is something to be concerned about. Hair can fall due to a variety of things like stress, lack of proper nutrition or genetics. To help yourself out, make sure you eat well-balanced meals, try to reduce stress as much as possible and use mild hair care products – However, if none of these seem working for you then visit a dermatologist.

hi my name is chloe and I think I'm having an allergic reaction but I'm not sure
Female | 20
You're having an allergic reaction, which happens when your body reacts to something foreign it has come into contact with. This can cause symptoms like redness, itchiness, swelling, or hives. Common triggers include food, animals, pollen, or certain medications. To relieve symptoms, you can take an antihistamine or use a cold compress on the affected area. If your symptoms are severe or worsen, visit a dermatologist.

Skin flake, crusty and black after skin peel
Female | 23
Some skin flaking, crusty appearance, and black discoloration after a peel is normal. This occurs because the peel removes your top skin layer, exposing new skin underneath. Sometimes, temporary discoloration and dryness can result. To aid recovery, moisturize gently and avoid picking flaky areas. Over time, as healing progresses, your skin condition should improve. If it doesn't, visit a dermatologist.

It sounds like you may have shingles, especially since you have a history of a kidney transplant. Shingles can cause a painful rash and need prompt treatment. Please see a dermatologist and a neurologist as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and care.
