Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was trimming my pubic hair, and suddenly I got a small cut on my scrotum. Then I applied a small amount of undiluted Dettol with the help of a handkerchief. Suddenly I felt some irritation there, but it became less when I washed this region with water. Should I consult a doctor? Will it have some problems in the future as I had seen that it might cause serious problems?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Wash the area with Povidone-iodine twice daily for ten days. Apply Povidone ointment after cleaning for twenty days. Follow up after 20 days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
