Brief Answer:
Dettol

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I understand that you have washed your face with dettol. Usually dettol is well tolerated and it does not cause any problems in terms of long term skin lesions.

Here are my suggestions

1. Wash your face throughly with water
2. Apply calamine lotion over the area of the face which is burning

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
