Suggest Remedy For Burning Sensation In Scrotum After Dettol Usage
i accidentally washed my scrotum with diluted dettol.
it was suppose to be an overall body wash to get rid of any bacteria, then afterwards i felt a slight burning feeling in that area whilst everywhere else is fine. will it get worse? is there anyway i can make it recover faster/easier?
thanks.

HI.
This is an accident.
Wash the scrotal area with plenty of running water like a shower.
DO NOT apply anything over it. No soaps, No liquids ,NO ointments. Let the area be air-dry.
Take antihistamines and oral steroids under the guidance of a Doctor.
If required you may please take an opinion of a Dermatologist.
Do not worry. It will not worsen.
