Question 3

i used undiluted dettol on my face after shaving. now it is extremely dry.my cheeks swelled up. please help?

Accepted Answer

Dettol: Dettol is a disinfectant that is diluted and used to clean cuts. It sounds like you may have had an allergic reaction to this agent. I would not recommend using it again. I would consult a dermatologist.

Question 4

i applied dettol on my face pimples for the very first time will it cause any damage?

Accepted Answer

Worthless: This won't help your acne. Start with topical benzoyl peroxide and/or a retinoic acid derivative. If you don't have a satisfactory result in two weeks, or if it's on your trunk or is severe, get with your physician who can add something that will work. Ignore everything you read online about acne, and if you need isotretinoin, go for it.

Question 5

i used dettol soap on my face. it has caused it to dry out. also i have dark skin, and it has caused light patches around my cheeks and underneath my ?

Accepted Answer

Dettol soap on face : Dettol soap is not formulated for use on the face, although like you, a lot of people use it for facial cleansing. It may have caused inflammation and subsequent drying and post- inflammatory hypopigmentation. I would stop using the soap and opt for a milder facial cleanser appropriate for your skin type & skin concerns. Also use a moisturizer to help restore hydration to your skin. Add spf in am.

Question 6

Question 8

what are the side effects of using sunscreen on your face everyday?

Accepted Answer

Depends on formulati: Some have been minimally accused of being carcinogenic but the cancer risk in not using it is greater. Allergy and eye irritation are all else i can think of.

Question 9

what are the possible side effects of putting triamcinolone on your face?

Accepted Answer

Skin atrophy: As mentioned in a prior answer, any of the strong cortisone creams, should be avoided on the face, because repeated use for longer periods of time will cause atrophy of tissue.  This can be true of a cortisone shot too.  If you received a cortisone shot, months later there may be a small puckered area where the fat layer of the skin atrophied.

Question 10

i masturbate daily. can i know the best steps to take to avoid this habit. i'm very much addicted i know. i do it only once a day, but i have to do it daily. may i know the side effects i might face?

Accepted Answer

No worries: Here in California, we haven't heard of any major health problems related to exercising daily, eating 3 meals daily, masturbating daily, sleeping 8 hours daily, or doing a good deed for others daily. In general, masturbation is universal in men, women, boys, and girls. No worries, but as with cell phone use, common sense is important... don't do it while driving. Pull over.
