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 dealing with an infected sebaceous cyst, and I've noticed it's about the size of a 20p coin. I've been using Bactroban for about 5 days now, and I'm seeing slow progress, if any, with it. Before I knew what it was, I was using sea salt, and it seemed to work a bit better. I'm wondering if it's okay to use both the Bactroban and sea salt at the same time. I think the salt helps dry it out, but I'm concerned it might interfere with how the Bactroban works. What do you think?

I'm dealing with a sebaceous cyst right next to my left eye and I'm really unsure about what to do. Could you guide me on the best treatment options to consider?

For Sebaceous cyst near your left eye, the best treatment option would be to use warm compresses to help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Neosporin to prevent infection. If the cyst is large or causing discomfort, it may need to be surgically removed by a doctor. Please consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
