Hi,
It looks like due to putting Dettol there is burning of the skin leading to scarring of the skin. Due to burning and inflammation, there is a black spot and you should keep patience as it will get removed gradually.
You should do cool compresses over it and along with it apply silver-ex ointment over it. Once the inflammation subsides you can conceal over it.
In case if it still does not get better consult a skin specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
