What is antiseptic?
Antiseptics are chemical substances that can reduce or stop the growth of potentially harmful micro-organisms that live on your skin, in wounds, and more.
What types of wounds can I treat with antiseptic products?
Antiseptic products are generally suitable for minor wounds such as cuts, scrapes, insect bites and grazes. They may help reduce the risk of infection in these types of injuries.
While antiseptic products can be a helpful addition to your first aid kit, they're not a substitute for proper wound care.
Always clean wounds thoroughly before applying any antiseptic product, and if you notice signs of infection or the wound isn't healing, seek medical advice.
For deeper or more serious wounds, please seek immediate medical attention.
Can I use antiseptic products on sensitive skin?
Some people with sensitive skin may experience skin irritation when using certain antiseptic products. This is because some antiseptic products contain alcohol and this can cause dry skin and irritate existing sensitivities.
If you've got concerns about using an antiseptic on sensitive skin, you can do a ‘spot’ test on a small area of your skin before using it on the injury or speak to your healthcare professional before applying.
If you’re not sure it’s suitable for your skin, please check the product label for any warnings before using it on a wound.
Are antiseptic products safe for use on children?
While many antiseptic products are formulated for use on children, it's essential to read the label carefully and follow the age recommendations.
Some antiseptic products may be used on children of a certain age whereas others may not be suitable for young children.
If you’re not sure, please consult your heatlhcare professional.
How often should I reapply antiseptic cream or spray?
The frequency of reapplication can vary depending on the specific product and the nature of the wound. Generally, most antiseptic creams and sprays are applied 1-3 times daily. However, it's crucial to follow the instructions provided with the product or as directed by your healthcare professional.
When choosing antiseptic products, consider factors such as ease of application, your skin type, and the specific use case.
For instance, an antiseptic spray might be more convenient for hard-to-reach areas, while a cream or ointment may be preferred for a more targeted application.
