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.
