I've been eating book and toilet paper since I was 12, and now I'm 21. Lately, I've been dealing with breast lumps, skin irritation, itchiness, and breakouts since June 2017. I also keep getting regular vaginal infections. Could this be related to my paper-eating habit, and what should I do about these symptoms?

I've been having this horrible itching that started in my hands, feet, and vaginal area about a week ago. I took levocetirizine for four days, and though it seemed to help a bit, the itching came back around day three. Now its spread to my upper back and chest. It's really uncomfortable and bothering me a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and what I can do to relieve this itching?

Since you have already taken levocetirizine without much relief, I recommend trying a different antihistamine such as Fexofenadine (Allegra) or Hydroxyzine (Avil). Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing Calamine to the itchy areas for relief. If the itching persists, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Ive been thinking about trying glutathione capsules, but I have a few grey hairs already and Im a bit worried. Since glutathione is known to increase melanin production for fairer skin, could it also increase melanin in my hair and turn all of it grey? Should I go ahead with taking glutathione, or is there a risk that all my hair could turn grey?
