What should I do if I've put Dettol liquid directly on my pennies? I did this last night, applying it on both the outside and inside skin, and now I've got a burning sensation. Can you help me with how to deal with this?

Applying Dettol liquid directly on the penis can cause irritation and a burning sensation on the skin. It is important to wash off the Dettol immediately with plenty of water to minimize further irritation. You can apply a soothing cream containing aloe vera or calamine lotion to help calm the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. If the burning sensation persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I've just used Veet hair removal cream around my anus and immediately after washing it off with aloe vera soap, I felt a burning sensation. Now I've got these rashes and red itchy bumps. I'm really worried about it. How can I clear this up?
You are experiencing an allergic reaction to the hair removal cream. To help clear the rash and itching, you can try using a mild hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using any harsh soaps or products on the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm using clear gel on my face and usually leave it on for about an hour. Does that sound effective, or should I be leaving it on for longer to see better results?
Keeping a clear gel on your face for an hour can be effective, but for optimal results, it is recommended to keep it on for at least 2-3 hours. This allows the active ingredients in the gel to penetrate the skin and work effectively. Make sure to follow the instructions on the product label for the best results.
