Used Undiluted Dettol On Pimple Which Made Circle Burn. Is Papaw Ointment Is Good For Healing?

Hi, I used undiluted dettol to treat a pimple on my face and left it for more than 5min then it made a circle burn on my face.
I washed my face immediately and I put some Clotrimazole 1% on it.next day my burnt skin started to peal when I was washing my face. Now I am using a Papaw ointment which was advised by a pharmacologist. The burn mark is still on my face and I'm worried if it will not be healed after a while. Could you please advise me whether this Papaw ointment I am using is good for this problem or not and if it's not what treatment do you recommend for that?
Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You can use a mild steroid ointment, this will be much better to control inflammation.
Along with this Use a sunscreen in day, it will prevent the darkening of skin.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
