View allI have two sebaceous cysts on my face and I'm not sure what to do about them. What are the treatment options available, and if surgery is needed, how much would it cost? I'm a bit worried about scarring or complications.

I recently got Glutathione through an IV, and today I drank an iced americano. I'm really worried that the caffeine might cause me to just pee out all the Glutathione because it's a diuretic.

While caffeine can have a diuretic effect, it does not necessarily mean that the glutathione will be completely wasted. To help maximize the benefits of the glutathione injection, you can try to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, you may consider taking a supplement like Vitamin C to help support the effects of glutathione in your body.
