Allergic reaction to dettol

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

Hi I'm allergic to dettol/savlon and develop rashes and red spots when applied on skin. A couple days ago I went for a skin prick allergy test and they cleaned my skin with an agent that probably had the same ingredient as dettol/savlon, thus triggering the allergic reaction. Both my forearms have a red rash and red spots and they are very itchy.

Hello..... This is quite rare.. But you are allergic to antiseptic solution itself.. So should avoid it.. Check if you are allergic to soap or not?? Some people are allergic to different things.. Whenever you go to hospital you must open up about this allergiec history......
