Chemical burn

2021-04-29 07:19:23
I was asked to do 24 hr urine calcium test for which I was given a bottle with some chemical in it. Since, funnel was not there, I tried urinating in it directly and I think a drop of that chemical got touched to glans causing burning sensation. The chemical smells like dettol. I immediately washed it with soap. And now the burning sensation has reduced a lot. It is negligible now. Should I go for treatment? Can I ignore this?
