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'm dealing with a fungal infection and have been using tetmosol soap, but nothing else seems to work. Could you suggest any other options or steps I might take to improve the situation?
To manage fungal infections, continue using Tetmosol soap, which contains clotrimazole, an antifungal agent; however, to enhance treatment and prevent recurrence, also consider: keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing, applying an antifungal cream or powder, and consulting a dermatologist for further guidance and evaluation
