Question: Dettol Burns

Dear Dr. Hi I was having a mole on my face which was removed using olive oil and left a scar. Tried to clean the scar with pure dettol solution and now the skin is burnt and having slightly blackish color. Any suggestion for quick remedy will be much appreciated. Thanks. Best regards. N

Answer

I would suggest that with the burn you currently have on the skin, that you visit your nearest pharmacy to purchase Bactroban. Apply this on the wound to avoid infection and aid in the healing process. Once the wound has closed and healed, I recommend that you invest in a product that will aid in preventing pigmentation in the area, otherwise that area is going to pigment and you will permanently have a dark mark where the burn was. Products I can recommend that are proven to have great results are: Brighter Concentrate from Lamelle OR the Enlighten Range from NeoStrata OR Lumixyl. It is also VERY important that you use a good SPF; Heliocare. If you want more details, you can contact or visit your nearest Skin Renewal Branch @ www.skinrenewal.co.za, and we will gladly assist you personally.
