I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and earlier today I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands. I washed them about 5 times with body soap and water to try to get rid of the smell. I'm really worried if there's any harm ...

Accepted Answer

Using undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on your hands during pregnancy can be harmful as it contains strong chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin. Even after washing your hands multiple times with soap and water, there may still be residual chemicals left on your skin. To be on the safe side, it is important to avoid using undiluted Dettol during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about potential exposure to harmful chemicals, you can consult with your healthcare provider for further advice.

I recommend you consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
