Suggest Treatment For Mild Burn Injury On The Cheek
Question: hi i have a seemingly mild burn on my cheek. Stupidly held a dettol-damp tissue to my face for 10 minutes.
It's red and about 1 inch wide. Not blistering or sore at all. I have a moisturizer with aloe, antibacterial, chamomile and zinc in it.
Can i just apply that??
I does not look any worse than sunburn (at the moment).

Brief Answer:
NO need for any drugs now. Observe only!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this burn that you have reported. I have reviewed the image fully and there is little to be concerned about. For now, do nothing. Only keep clean and protect from the sun. All will soon return to normal.
Update me in 2-3days if you still have any further concerns. We anticipate that all will soon settle with 5-7days.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and classifications if need be.

To me, Now. Maybe later but not now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will say allow this skin to heal normally. we will only intervene if something isn’t going as expected. Let’s be patient and don’t get too aggressive.
I wish you well and keep me updated. Do not forget to attach an image when you do so.
