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.

View allI'm using Sebamed sunscreen 50 but noticed that it's only SPF 30, and my oily, sensitive skin tends to look dull on some days when I use it, while other days it seems fine. I'm considering switching to a gel-based sunscreen like Sunprotek because it has good reviews. I'm just not sure about the quality and ingredients, and whether it's a physical or chemical sunscreen. Can you help clarify this?
Yes you can use it no problem, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment

I'm really worried and curious about something. Is it true that eating milk and onions together, like in a sandwich or mixed with vegetables, can cause vitiligo? I'm just trying to understand how vitiligo actually happens. Is it some kind of viral issue? I'd appreciate any insights you could give me.
Consuming milk and onion together does not cause vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition where the cells that produce skin pigment are destroyed, leading to white patches on the skin. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment-producing cells. Vitiligo is not viral. Treatment options for vitiligo include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy with medications like Tacrolimus ointment or Pimecrolimus cream.
