How Are Scars Formed By Using Dettol On Acne Treated ?
Hi, I used undiluted dettol to treat acne on my face . I left the dettol on for less than five minutes when it started to burn , darken and change the consistency of my skin (seemed more porous, almost like a mosquito bite). I m wondering if this car will go away (this happened a few hours ago) and how soon it may? Thank you

Hello,
Dettol diluted or undiluted should never be used on face or as a body wash....
The change your skin has undergone should be an irritant reaction to dettol.
you can use 'mupibact'cream on the affected area twice a day and meet your dermatologist at the earliest, who will evaluate the extent of damage and guide you accordingly.
Take Care
