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?

View allI'm thinking about using finax but at a really low dose, like maybe 0.5 mg per week. Do you think that would still be effective, and should I be worried about any side effects from such a small amount?
Using Finax (finasteride) at a lower dosage, such as 0.5 mg per week, is a common practice, especially for individuals who are concerned about potential side effects or are sensitive to the medication. Potential Benefits 1. Reduced risk of side effects: Lowering the dosage may minimize the risk of side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or breast tenderness. 2. Still effective for hair loss: Finasteride, even at lower dosages, can still be effective in slowing down hair loss and promoting hair growth. Potential Drawbacks 1. Reduced efficacy: Lowering the dosage may reduce the medication's efficacy in treating hair loss or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 2. Variable response: Individual responses to finasteride can vary, and some people may not respond as well to lower dosages. Side Effects at Lower Dosages While lowering the dosage may reduce the risk of side effects, it's essential to remember that individual responses can vary. Some people may still experience side effects, such as: 1. Decreased libido 2. Erectile dysfunction 3. Breast tenderness 4. Mood changes Monitoring and Adjustments If you decide to use Finax at a lower dosage, it's crucial to: 1. Consult your doctor: Inform your doctor about your decision to reduce the dosage, and ask for their guidance and monitoring.

I'm dealing with a dry penis and my family doctor mentioned using a lotion or cream that has vitamin E. Can anyone recommend a brand that's effective?
You can try using Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion which contains vitamin E. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for best results.
