My brothers used to play in little streams and had some leg sores. My mother washed the leg sores with Dettol after each bath and it went away like magic! We had cuts and bruises while playing amongst the tall grasses as we can't see if there are any nails or broken glasses thrown there...Dettol did the job...no plasters needed! Wish that they have some kind of Dettol cream for dry skin rashes. That would help me out a lot. We also used to add some dettol in a pail of water, to mop the floors. It works great too.
