A consumer reported on 05-Aug-2015, that she had applied Muskol aerosol to her son who had a skin wound the size of a pencil eraser. The repellent got into the wound, and the wound then appeared to be the size of a quarter, and looked like a chemical burn. The consumer stated that she did not realize the product was expired at the time, and she did not know until after reading the label that it should not be given to children under the age of 12. She stated that she was not sure if the Muskol was what caused the wound to become bigger. She stated that the wound was already looking better, and not worsening.
