Question: I got black spots in my face after applt of Dettol.
Brief Answer:
Irritant contact dermatitis, topical steroid & antihistaminic
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
You seem to have developed irritant contact dermatitis (burn) to Dettol.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 7-8 days.
If there is associated irritation take antihistaminic like tablet levocetirizine 5 mg once daily at bedtime.
Don’t scratch or rub the area, the scabs should dry and fall on their own and avoid direct sun exposure.
Hope to have answered your query. I would be happy to answer any further queries.
