Glutathione for Skin Whitening: Pros and Cons

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

1 Answer
Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Dermatologist

Answered on 23rd May '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

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.

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.

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.
