What Treatment Is Suggested For Accidental Application Of Dettol On Skin And Its After Effects ?

I accidentally applied dettol on my face 8 months back the next day my skin got burnt at the applied area after 3 days it automatically started peeling as it would when one would get hurt. Everything was normal.
Now I have white spot on that area !
Is that due to dettol burn?
I sometimes don't have a clear "motion" I don't no whether it's the right word!

Thank you.

hi there
the right word is constipation

there is one think i want to know
are the borders of the white patches gradually increasing?
if so, i dont think this is dettol burn
dettol has a dehydrating effect- thats probably what caused the peeling
lots of people use dettol

i feel you have mineral and vitamin deficiency
and its a matter of chance that the face seems involved
i mean how big is a face
if you washed it, almost the entire face would be involved

you need to take a tablet albendazole one only
continue with lotion lactocalamine
and start multivitmains with minerals like revital

i would suggest you meet a dermatologist close by
you see, dermatology is a visual branch
you need to see the lesion to diagnose it

i hope that helps
best of luck
