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've been dealing with this issue for quite some time, where my lips need Vaseline almost every 15 minutes. If I skip applying it, my lips get dry, sore, and really irritating. It's starting to affect my daily life and I'm not sure if a doctor could offer any help for this. Is it just me or is there something I can do to fix it?

Dry lips would be result of vitamin deficiency or dehydration,rule out appropriate cause and use moisturizer often,don't hurry to move.

Usually it takes time to heal and no need to worry or rush to change the treatment,have patience and give some times to heal, consume balanced diet and take adequate rest for better results.
