I’ve just been giving hibiscrub from my dermatologist problem is he’s not told me how to use it and I’ve struggled to get hold of him. I’ve used it once undiluted and it just Burned very badly around the groin area. Help appreciated thanks

Hibiscrub applied undiluted directly to the skin can be a serious irritant, and may cause more damage than the original cut the owner was trying to treat in the first place. As well as the need to dilute hibiscrub well it should also be rinsed off, something that users are often unaware of.

Type Hibiscrub into Google and it will throw up all you need to know.

I have had to use this medication prior to hospital treatment when I was instructed to shower using it instead of soap. I had to repeat this twice and then rinse off.
