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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been noticing that my skin is super dry, and I've been using a lot of moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. The dryness is causing wrinkles to form, and it's really worrying me. I wash my hands regularly with soap and keep applying moisturizer, but both my hands and legs are still wrinkled. Do you have any advice on what I can do to improve my skin's condition?
Dry skin can lead to wrinkles, especially if it's not properly moisturized. Here are some suggestions to help you combat dry skin and reduce wrinkles: Moisturizing Routine 1. Use a gentle soap: Switch to a mild, fragrance-free soap that's formulated for dry skin. 2. Exfoliate wisely: Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 3. Apply moisturizer immediately: After washing your hands and legs, apply moisturizer within 3 minutes to lock in moisture. 4. Use a rich moisturizer: Switch to a rich, non-greasy moisturizer that's formulated for dry skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, and glycerin. Additional Tips 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. 2. Avoid hot water: Use warm water instead of hot water, which can strip your skin of its natural oils. 3. Wear gloves: Wear gloves when washing dishes, gardening, or engaging in other activities that can dry out your hands. 4. Use a humidifier: Dry air can dry out your skin, so using a humidifier can help maintain a healthy moisture level.

I'm interested in taking multivitamins like Becadexamin, Seacod liver oil capsules, and SugarBearHair for my hair. Is it okay to take all these vitamins together? Or should I consider biotin instead? What do you suggest?
You're considering taking multiple supplements to support your overall health and hair growth. Here's a breakdown of the supplements you mentioned: - Becadexamin: A multivitamin that provides essential nutrients like vitamins B, C, D, E, and K, as well as minerals. - Seecord Liver Oil Capsule: A source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support heart health and may also promote hair growth. - SugarBearHair: A dietary supplement specifically designed to support hair growth, containing biotin, vitamin C, and other nutrients. Considering your plan to take all these supplements, here are some points to keep in mind: 1. Overlapping ingredients: Becadexamin and SugarBearHair both contain biotin and other vitamins. Taking both might lead to excessive intake of these nutrients. 2. Interactions and side effects: Although generally considered safe, high doses of biotin can cause skin rashes, hair loss (ironically!), and other side effects. 3. Liver oil and omega-3 intake: If you're already taking Seecord Liver Oil Capsule, you might not need additional omega-3 supplements. To minimize potential risks and maximize benefits: 1. Consult a healthcare professional: Discuss your supplement plan with a doctor or registered dietitian to ensure you're not exceeding recommended daily intake levels. 2. Choose one biotin supplement: Select either Becadexamin or SugarBearHair, but not both, to avoid excessive biotin intake. 3. Monitor your body's response: Pay attention to any side effects or changes in your body after starting these supplements.
