I've been applying Dettol on my face and steaming for 15 minutes. After that, my face turns really red and dark, and it's itching a lot. Is it okay to use Dettol on my face? What might happen because of this?

I've noticed that my periods often get delayed by a month or two, and I'm a bit worried about it. Also, I've been seeing some slight damage to my hair and nails. Could this be linked to some sort of health issue?
Delayed periods, hair damage, and nail damage could be indicative of hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other underlying health issues. Here are some potential causes: Hormonal Imbalances 1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, hair loss, and nail damage. 2. Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. Nutritional Deficiencies 1. Iron deficiency: Can cause hair loss, nail damage, and irregular periods. 2. Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to hair and nail damage. Other Potential Causes 1. Stress: Prolonged stress can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods and hair and nail damage. 2. Weight changes: Significant weight gain or loss can affect menstrual cycles and cause hair and nail damage. 3. Genetic predisposition: Family history can play a role in hormonal imbalances and hair and nail damage. To address these issues, consider the following steps: 1. Consult a gynecologist: Discuss your delayed periods and other symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. 2. Get blood tests: Check for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and other potential causes.

I've developed a rash under my breast, and sometimes it gets really itchy. It's actually been spreading more each day, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Should I be seeing a gynecologist about this, or would a dermatologist be better? Any advice would be appreciated.
