I'm wondering if there's a tablet that can help with skin whitening. Are there any side effects I should worry about while using it or even after? Could you give me some advice on this?

Certain tablets like Glutathione, Vitamin C, and Meladerm claim to promote skin whitening, but their effectiveness and safety vary, and potential side effects may include digestive issues, allergic reactions, and skin sensitivity, so consult a dermatologist before using any skin whitening tablets, as they can recommend safer and more effective alternatives, such as topical creams or professional treatments.

I recently found out that the black spots on my scrotum are called angiokeratoma. I'm worried if these could lead to something like Fabry disease? I heard that laser treatment is recommended to remove them, but Im nervous about any future sexual complications this might cause. Also, I've noticed that these spots seem less noticeable during the day and get a bit more visible at night. If I do decide on laser treatment, Im curious if they might come back again. Is there any other way to remove them, like using creams maybe?

No need to worry get them removed through laser treatment as it ist bes t option and follow your doctors advice
