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 been dealing with burning and dry skin on my lips for a couple of months now. At first, I thought they were just chapped, so I tried using lip scrubs and chap stick, but nothing seems to help. I'm starting to worry, could this be a ringworm? How can I tell if that's what it is?

I've been using Momate as my doctor advised, but I stopped about a week ago. Since then, I noticed a few pimples popping up, which seemed normal at first. But today, I woke up with a bunch more on my face and neck. I'm really not sure whats going on. Can you help figure out what's happening and what I should do about it?
