I've used Dettol on my skin, and now the area around it has darkened. Is this something that will go away on its own? It's also causing some irritation. What should I do about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin reaction to the Dettol. To help with the irritation and darkening of the skin, you can try using a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Additionally, you can use a soothing moisturizer like Cetaphil to help hydrate the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been having these relentless itches all over my body, day and night, and it's driving me crazy. There are these bubbles and rashes popping up everywhere, even on my head, and I'm really worried. Can you tell me what might be going on and how I can make this itching stop?
Could be indicative of an allergic reaction or dermatitis. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily to help relieve itching and rash symptoms. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion containing calamine or hydrocortisone to the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
