Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

New scratches have added to old ones recently, so it's important to watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the wound with soap and water, and monitor it closely. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away.

You should see a dermatologist to get additional examinations and treatment and specify the reason for your hair color change. The reason could be any of the factors, such as genetics, hormonal change, or unknown medical conditions.

Glutathion is it good for men?

Male | 21

Because it helps to protect cells in the body, glutathione is good for men. It’s like a shield that fights off bad stuff which can harm your body. When glutathione is low, you may feel tired and weak. Eating fruits and vegetables can help increase glutathione levels inside your body.

I am 25years old, I have been battling with dark knuckles, in fact, the more I apply knuckles cream, the more it gets worse, so recently I thought of getting Gluthatione pills and start using them so my hands and legs can be uniform again. But I am afraid it might have side effects, please help me.....I will do anything you ask me to do at this moment.

Female | 25

Consult with your doctor before you start taking any new supplement. There are several options available if you are looking for natural ways to lighten dark knuckles. You can try exfoliating the affected area with a gentle scrub, apply lemon juice, or using a product that contains natural bleaching ingredients such as aloe vera, papaya, and turmeric.

My sister put a caustic soda flake on her tongue and her lip is swollen. What is the best way to help her.

Female | 10

Your sister possibly injured her tongue due to caustic soda flakes. This can result in an enlargement and ache in the lip. The most effective treatment is to rinse her mouth with cool water for at least 20 minutes. This will contribute to the removal of any remaining chemicals and repair the damaged area. Let her utilize ice cubes to suck on to diminish the swelling. Tell her to consume cool water or milk to help with the vexation. Be alert for any wheezing or acute agony. If these signs arise, rush her to the emergency room immediately.
