I'm really worried because I accidentally used dettol on an itch on my thigh and now it's burning my skin. It's been bothering me a lot and I can't get to a hospital right now. Is there any way I can treat this at home quickly, like within a day?

I've been using ELOSONE HT Cream for over three months and saw a real improvement in my skin color. But then I began to get pimples, and they left black marks that started spreading, so I stopped using the cream. Now, my face seems to be darkening really quickly. I'm worried and wondering if I should start using the cream again or try something else. What do you think?

-It's best to avoid using ELOSONE HT Cream without a doctor's guidance, as it can cause side effects like skin darkening and pimples. I recommend consulting a dermatologist to assess your skin and recommend the best treatment for your concerns.

I've been dealing with pimples that were starting to heal, but it's been really slow. They began to dry up, so I tried applying some moisturizer and rubbed it a bit, thinking it would help. But now it's worse because I rubbed too hard, and my skin started oozing this watery liquid. By the next morning, it developed pus. I went to see a doctor, and they recommended I use T BACT cream. Do you think that'll actually help? I'm kind of worried about what to do next.

Refrain from rubbing or picking at the area to avoid further irritation or damage. Let the skin heal naturally.After the cream has been absorbed, you can apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. This will help prevent further dryness and irritation.T-Bact (Mupirocin) should help treat the infection and promote healing. It's essential to use it as directed by your doctor and avoid further irritation or picking at the skin. If the situation does not improve or worsens, seek follow-up care from your doctor.
