how to treat detol burn on chafed skin

[lolman69]

hi,I had pretty bad chafing in my groin area and my inner thighs. I've been trying to heal let it heal but it's been bothering me for about a month. I wasn't sure if it was infected or not so I put some undiluted detol on the area it has become very dry which is good for the chafing I guess but the skin is very tight and painful. any ideas would help thanks

Have you seen a doctor? Dettol can be very irritating, and if it’s truly burned, you should definitely see a doc.

I’d be hesitant to advise you to try anything else without you first seeing a doc. I’d hate for you to make it worse.

And don’t worry about the doc’s reaction. You are not nearly the first person who had put Dettol on the thighs.
