Should i apply dettol on my scalp to treat my scalp acne? how should i proceed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only skin products: If you mean dettol antiseptic cream or similar product intended for application on the skin, you could probably try it. I wouldn't try any of the dettol household cleaning products, however.
