I used undiluted Dettol for an inset bite on the next and it burnt my skin. Its been two months now and the skin is still reddish (sometimes it is white) and is surrounded by black colour skin and looks like it is a scar. Will this be a permanent scar or will the scar go away in time? Also will the black skin eventually get the skin color?
