Can Exposure To Undiluted Dettol Led To Dry And Scaly Foreskin?
two days ago, while i am taking bath, accidentally some undiluted dettol spilt over my penis. Today afternoon, I found my foreskin and the skin beneath the penis very dry and scaly. It appears that as though it was burnt ... Is it due to the dettol action or is it due to some other infection ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dettol may cause excoriation of skin, but dryness and scaling is very unlikely. As of now you can apply topical steroids like Triamcinolone over the affected region, if no improvement is seen, consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
