A member asked:

Can i use dettol to clean and heal wounds on my penis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Am not aware of any study that has been done on this. The first question would obviously be "What wounds?" and what are they due to? Need more info before making further comments about this, but you might try calling the company that manufactures this and asking them about it.
