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?

Mere face pe chote chote dane nikal aate hain aur kuch pimples bhi hain. Yeh kabhi nahi rehte, lekin aksar hone lagte hain. Mera chehra oily ho jata hai, sirf aadha ghanta bhi nahi guzarta aur pura face ugly dikhne lagta hai. Iske liye kya kar sakta hoon? Kya koi permanent solution hai?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm worried because my skin is really sensitive to the sun. I've been using Suncrose 50, but I stopped using it for a few days and ended up with a sunburn. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kojiglo cream to help with the sunburn?

You cannot use kojiglo cream for sunburn as it typically used for skin lightening and pigmentation issues.For sunburn treatment apply a cold compress, use a gentle moisturiser, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, consider using pain relief meds if needed.
