I had itching in region of pubic hairs. So I applied dettol antiseptic liquid on that area and after one day I found that a thin wound like layer of skin shed off from that region. I removed that layer pulling from my hand. And cut down my pubic hairs. Also when I go to the doctor for itching (before knowing about that shed off layer of skin), she gave me some antifungal ointments and tablets. I am worried about the layer that sheds may be due to applying dettol and about removing my pubic hairs. What should I do to avoid spreading fungal or other infections?

Any infection on skin will cause upper layer of skin to die faster n new skin will throw out older one. So don't worry about that layer. Second thing hygiene is very important. since summer is on. please take bath 2 times a day n post bath dry that area n then wear cotton inner cloths. candid b cream would be better. try this if those doesn't work.
