I'm 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant and earlier today I used a small cap full of undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on my hands. I washed them about 5 times with body soap and water to try to get rid of the smell. I'm really worried if there's any harm to my baby from using undiluted Dettol, even after washing so many times. Could there still be leftover chemicals on my hands that I might ingest, which could then reach my baby?

Using undiluted Dettol antiseptic liquid on your hands during pregnancy can be harmful as it contains strong chemicals that may be absorbed through the skin. Even after washing your hands multiple times with soap and water, there may still be residual chemicals left on your skin. To be on the safe side, it is important to avoid using undiluted Dettol during pregnancy. If you have any concerns about potential exposure to harmful chemicals, you can consult with your healthcare provider for further advice.

View allI've noticed that my genital area has become dark brown, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment available to lighten it, similar to how depigmentation is done for the face. Are there options like cryotherapy to help with this? Also, how can I prevent it from getting darker? Does anyone offer this kind of treatment in Bangalore?

I'm really struggling with jock itch and it's been a nightmare for the past 23 years. I've seen countless doctors, and they've all told me to use creams like Panderm, Dermikem, or to take Fluconazole tablets. They seem to work while I'm using them, but as soon as I stop, the problem comes roaring back. The skin on my inner thighs gets super thin and crazy itchy. These creams help temporarily, but the symptoms always come back. On top of this, I've gained some weight, and my face looks puffy and swollen. I'm also noticing stretch marks on my shoulders and knees, and I just feel tired and weak all the time. I'm really in a tough spot here. What can I do to finally get rid of this? Its becoming unbearable.
