I've been hearing a lot about oral glutathione tablets with Vitamin C for skin whitening, and I'm curious if they really work. Are there any solid clinical studies backing this up? Have you seen any noticeable results in your patients who use these oral glutathione supplements? There are so many expensive products out there, and I'd love to get some insights before making a purchase decision.

There are no proven studies to say that oral glutathione causes skin whitening. But there are patients who have taken it, and have noticed a difference. But that's not same with everyone. There are various lasers and peels available to enhance your skin color by one or two shades. Along with the procedures, vitamin C serum is definitely helpful, not only for pigmentation, but also for skin rejuvenation and as an anti aging cream.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn boil in a sensitive area, and it's just not going away. I used T bact or bactafuz cream like I heard it's supposed to help, and I did a round of antibiotics for three days, but there's no improvement yet. Do you think I need more antibiotics, or should I try something different? I'm starting to worry a bit that it's not getting better.

T Bact or Bactafuz cream can be effective in treating boils in sensitive areas. In addition to the cream, you can also consider taking an oral antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg twice daily for 5-7 days to help with the healing process. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the boil. If the boil does not improve or if you develop fever or worsening pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
