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.

I occasionally get rashes in my private areas, and this time they are really itchy. Could you let me know what might be going on and what I can do about it?
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.

I'm 26 and already dealing with 35 white hairs. I'm also starting to lose some hair. Is there any solution for this?
Premature graying of hair and hair fall can be concerning issues. To address the premature graying, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. For the hair fall, you can use Finasteride 1mg daily to help reduce hair fall and promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to manage stress levels as these can also impact hair health.
