I used Dettol on my face about a month ago, and initially, the affected area turned dark black. Now its more reddish with some black spots, and Im also having these small rash-like bumps and a bit of itching. Im wondering if this is part of the healing process? I've been using No Scars cream lately is that okay over Dettol burns, or should I try something else to help with the scarring and irritation?

I'm looking at this picture and wondering which cream might help clear it up. It's been there for about 15 days now. It itches every now and then, but there's no burning or pain. Could you give me some advice on what might work?
