Glutathione for Skin Whitening: Pros and Cons

Patient's Query

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

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

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.

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.

Having pimple and painful bumps need a cream or gel.

Male | 22

Your skin issues se­em to indicate pimples and sore­ bumps. These happen whe­n pores get blocked, trapping bacte­ria inside. An over-the-counte­r cream or gel with benzoyl pe­roxide or salicylic acid may help. These­ ingredients reduce­ inflammation by killing bacteria on your skin's surface. Wash your face re­gularly to prevent clogging. Don't squee­ze pimples, though - that can cause scarring. With some­ care, those bumps will clear up.
