Can Usage Of Undiluted Dettol Cause Cancer?
Hi, my daugher is 3 years old. I generally apply undiluted dettol anticeptic liquid on her scraches with hand. It means i pour some dettol on hand and directly apply to skin. Today i washed her both toes with dettol. The amount i applied was quiete more since i took liquid in hand and then apply directy twice. Now i am concern will this harm her.. does dettol causes cancer?

Hi,
This may not cause cancer however washing skin directly with Dettol is not a good practice as this may causes skin problems.
We personally advise people to wash with clean water and soap. And not to use Dettol for long times.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
