Possible Treatment for Dettol Burn Scar on Face?

drinkwater
Hello there, Just some background on my problem. About 3.5 weeks ago, I used some Dettol on my face (stupid idea). It burned me, leaving a dark circular mark. About 3 days after the incident, the skin peeled away and the underlying skin looked normal, resembled the rest of my face. About 4 days later I noticed the mark returned, it was fainter though. For the last 2.5 weeks I've been using Bio-oil on the mark. I was wondering what I should do next? Should I leave the mark alone? Will it go away itself? Thanks!
