Why The Bleeding From My Face Is Not Stopping?

Hi. Am Shashank. Yesterday i got a cut on my face while shaving. The bleeding was not stopping. So, i applied undiluted dettol on my face and kept it for 15 mins to stop the bleeding. After that, my skin in that area got burnt and blackened.. Please help me with this.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Possibly you nicked a blood vessel, which caused the bleeding.
2. As it is probably a first episode, not to worry. If it repeats in future, you need to get your platelet count, bleeding time, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time evaluation done.
3. Blackened area could be due to clot formation due to subcutaenous bleeding. It will disappear within a week.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
