I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?

I'm thinking about taking glutathione to help with my skin, but I've heard it's best to combine it with vitamin C. How soon after taking a glutathione pill should I take the vitamin C? Do I take them together? Also, how many times a day should I be taking the vitamin C?

To maximize the benefits of glutathione for your skin, it is recommended to take it with vitamin C. You can take them together for better absorption. It is advisable to take vitamin C 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the glutathione pill. You can take vitamin C once a day, preferably in the morning with your glutathione supplement. The recommended dosage of vitamin C can vary, but a common dosage is around 500-1000mg per day for skin health benefits.

A black spot just appeared near the corner of my eye, on the side of my nose, and it's about the size of a big drop. I only noticed it when I woke up this morning. It's not itchy, and it doesn't feel like dry skin. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What might be causing this, and what tests should I consider getting done?

The sudden appearance of a non-itchy, non-dry black spot under the eye, near the nose, could be due to various causes such as a benign skin lesion (melanocytic nevus), allergic reaction, or vascular-related issues (hematoma or vascular malformation); consult a dermatologist
