I'm 21 and have been dealing with scabies for like 8 months now. I've tried a bunch of creams like permethrin and lindane, but nothing works anymore. The red bumps just keep coming back on my scrotum and penis after a few days of any treatment. Can you suggest something that could really fix this for good so it doesnt return again?

I'm curious about which tablet would be better for skin whitening, Glutone 1000 or Glutone C. Can you help me understand the difference between the two and which one might be more effective? I'm a bit confused about which option to go for.

Glutone 1000 contains L-Glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that helps in skin lightening and anti-aging. It is recommended for overall skin health and whitening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. Glutone C, on the other hand, contains L-Glutathione along with Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps in enhancing the absorption of Glutathione in the body, leading to better results in skin whitening and brightening. The usual dosage is 1 tablet daily. If you are looking for a more potent formula with added benefits for skin health, Glutone C would be the better choice.
