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 some itching around my penis for the past couple of months, and it's turned into these mild red patches around there and on my lower thighs. I've tried using BETNOVATE GM cream, and it helps for a bit, but then the problem comes right back. Its really embarrassing, especially when I'm out in public. Could you suggest a cream or any other treatment that might help with this?

I'm dealing with eczema and was told to use emoderm cream, but I can't find it in any of the pharmacies around here. Can you suggest an alternative cream that would work in its place?

An alternative to Emoderm cream for eczema could be Elica cream. You can apply Elica cream thinly on the affected skin twice a day for relief from eczema symptoms.
