Brief Answer:
No sir, it is not advised to do so

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Although glutathione inhibits melanin synthesis in the body it is strongly advised not to use this medication for this purpose as it can result in various skin related conditions that can cause serious damage to the body.

I am sure you are handsome and quite attractive just the way you are, and you should be proud of who and how you are. For mild pigmentation changes you could try over-the-counter skin whitening creams and lotions, but being a doctor I would strongly advice against the use of anything more than this as you are a young gentleman who has his entire life ahead of him.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
