I accidentally put undiluted Dettol on my nose and chin a few days ago, and when it started burning, I washed it off. This morning, I noticed that the skin feels really tight, dry, and flaky. When I tried to peel it off, the skin underneath looks red and is still burning. I'm worried about how to treat this and avoid any scars. What should I do?

No need to worry there is no further complications with this, and the reaction might be due to concentrated Dettol, it usually heals on its own if the exposed area is large and giving you pain , visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

Question

I've been dealing with this weird sensation, especially during winters for the past 15 years, where it feels like a bunch of needles are trying to poke out of my skin. It's really intense and usually happens when I'm out in the sun or doing some physical activity. The only time it goes away is if I remove my clothes and touch something cold or scratch my body like crazy. It's getting worse, to the point where just being outside for a short time sets it off, and it's really hard to control, especially around other people. I've also started noticing these red patches on my skin wherever I feel the needle-poking sensation, and it's really worrying me because it's affecting my daily life and work. I've tried bathing with cold water in the winter, which seems to help a bit, but I'm looking for a more permanent and sensible solution. Any ideas on what this could be and how I can manage it better?

Question

I've been using Cool Lip for about six months now and I'm starting to worry about any possible side effects. I'm particularly concerned about whether it might affect my sexual organs. How can I stop using it safely?

Question

I've had this flat black mole under my right armpit for a long time, and it hasn't really bothered me. But a few days ago, I noticed some soreness in that area and felt like my lymph nodes were swollen, which only lasted for two days. It happened right when I got my period, so I'm not sure if theyre related. Now, I've started to feel pain in the mole, especially when I touch it or stretch my arm. I haven't shaved my underarms in a while, so that could have caused some of the discomfort too. Should I be concerned about this?
