Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, so I had an infected belly button piercing and I was looking through the cupboard to find something that might fix it. I found dettol and not knowing much about it I applied it to my belly button with a cotton ball and taped it there overnight. When I woke up and removed it there was a red circle ( the burnt area ) around my piercing, and it was also blistering. I didn't realise at first what had happened and I also, stupidly, picked at the blisters. Now my skin is very raw, tender and red. Please please help. What can I do to treat it? And how can I help it to heal quickly?
Hi, It seems that there might be having infection in piercing area giving this problem. concentrated dettol might have given more irritation. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days. Clean the wound with warm water and apply antibiotic cream. Ok and take care.
