  5. I accidentally used undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin on June 7th. It started burning, so I washed it off right away. But today, I woke up with tight, dry, and flaky skin. After peeling it off, I noticed red, burning skin underneath. How should I treat this and prevent scarring?

No need to worry there is no further complications with this, and the reaction might be due to concentrated Dettol, it usually heals on its own if the exposed area is large and giving you pain , visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
