Got a cut on the upper lip and applied dettol with cotton for about 15 minutes. the area has now turned dark with burning sensation. what to do?

Injury to lip: If the cut wound stopped bleeding and the cut itself is not deep it should heal on its own. If bleeds and a deep cut an approximation with a suture will facilitate the healing.
