I'm looking to try a Glutathione soap here in India and I'm curious about which brand you might recommend as the best. Also, I'm a bit concerned about whether there are any side effects I need to watch out for. My skin tends to be quite dry, so I'm also wondering if it's safe and suitable for someone with dry skin. Would love to hear your thoughts!

There are several popular Glutathione soaps available in India, such as Gluta-C Intense Whitening Soap, Belo Essentials Intensive Whitening Bar, and Kojie San Skin Lightening Soap. These soaps are known for their skin brightening and antioxidant properties. As for side effects, some people may experience mild irritation, dryness, or redness when using Glutathione soap. It is important to do a patch test before using it regularly to check for any allergic reactions. Dry-skinned individuals can still use Glutathione soap, but it is recommended to follow up with a moisturizer to prevent further dryness. Additionally, using a gentle and hydrating soap can help maintain skin moisture levels. Remember to use the soap as directed and discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.

I've been dealing with a lot of itching on my testicles and the surrounding areas for the last few days. I've also noticed about 8 to 10 pimples have appeared on the skin of my testicles. The itching seems to get worse at night. I've tried using coconut oil, but it hasn't helped. What could this be, and should I be worried?

The itching and pimples on your testicle skin can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible Causes 1. Folliculitis: An inflammation of the hair follicles, which can cause itching, redness, and pimples. 2. Jock itch (Tinea cruris): A fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, and a rash in the groin area. 3. Contact dermatitis: An allergic reaction or irritation caused by exposure to certain substances, such as soaps, detergents, or fabrics. 4. Scabies: A parasitic infection caused by mites that can lead to intense itching, especially at night.Precautions and Self-Care 1. Maintain good hygiene: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. 2. Avoid scratching: Scratching can further irritate the skin, leading to more severe symptoms. 3. Wear loose, breathable clothing: Tight clothing can irritate the skin and exacerbate symptoms. 4. Avoid sharing personal items: Refrain from sharing towels, clothing, or personal items to prevent the spread of infections.

I'm really concerned about my wife's handsthey're turning purple, especially on the knuckles. They look like they're dirty, but there's actually no dirt on them. She mentioned that they feel really dry, probably because of the cold winter air. Is this just dry skin, or could it be something more serious?

The purple discoloration on your wife's knuckles, despite appearing clean, could be due to Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition causing blood vessel constriction in response to cold temperatures, or it might be a sign of poor circulation, dry skin, or a nutritional deficiency; to rule out any underlying conditions, consult a dermatologist
