Question 3

Ive heard that glutathione can be good for hair, but my friend is struggling with hair loss and baldness. Do you think taking glutathione could help with this? Would it be beneficial for her condition?

Accepted Answer

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body and is known for its skin-lightening properties. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that glutathione may have benefits for hair health, there is limited scientific research to support its effectiveness specifically for hair loss and baldness. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing hair loss and baldness.

Ive been noticing red dots on the head of my penis after masturbation or sex. It becomes painful to retract the foreskin, especially around the frenulum, and the red dots usually go away after 4-5 days of no activity. I visited a dermatologist, and t...

Accepted Answer

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence
