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've noticed some white patches on the skin of my testicles, like about an inch big, and sometimes they get itchy. I've been using antifungal powder to try and keep the area dry, but I'm still worried. What could this be, and is there anything else I should be doing?
