Camphor and Rivanol (Ethacridine Lactate) - An interesting reaction

Two days ago, while trying to clean a pimple with an antiseptic camphor solution, I accidentally used ethacridine lactate (Rivanol) instead. After realizing this, instead of first cleaning the rivanol stain and then applying the camphor, I directly cleaned it with camphor using a cotton pad. Suddenly a new white layer formed at the contact surface between the two layers of substance. The occurrence of a chemical reaction was obvious, and after repeating the experiment in lab conditions, I tried to understand the formation of this new product.
