What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I tried using a mix of grated garlic, castor oil, and turmeric on my acne overnight, but I ended up burning my skin. I saw a dermatologist and she gave me a cream that helped peel the burnt skin off, but now there's a dark black spot that's been there for almost a month. She suggested using golite cream for it, but I'm not seeing any improvements. I need to get rid of this scar urgently since my brother's wedding is in the first week of June. Can you suggest anything that might work quickly?

it takes time to heal such burnt scar,wiith time it would settle have patience.

I'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm really confused about what's happening with my skin lately. I had a fungal infection around my waist and was taking Zyrtec tablets along with using several creams. The infection cleared up, but now every time I stop taking the Zyrtec, I start itching all over my body. When I take it again, the itching stops. Why does this keep happening?
