Hello,

First of all never use any soap with strong chemicals on your face. Applying Dettol handwash has caused irritation and damage to the skin. Stop using it immediately. Facial skin is delicate and very prone to damage with such things as compare to body's.

I would suggest you visit a dermatologist regarding this. He should carefully examine your skin and the changes in it due to use of Dettol hand wash. Avoid applying any chemical rich cream or liquid to your face without your doctor's advice. Once he examines your skin, he will be able to guide you further with appropriate management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
