Detailed explanation-1: -Topical antiseptics are antimicrobial agents that kill, inhibit or reduce the number of microorganisms and are thought to be essential for wounds infection control.
Detailed explanation-2: -Antiseptics and disinfectants are used extensively in hospitals and other health care settings for a variety of topical and hard-surface applications. In particular, they are an essential part of infection control practices and aid in the prevention of nosocomial infections (277, 454).
Detailed explanation-3: -Antiseptics are applied by medical staff to decontaminate the skin of the hands, pre-operatively clean the skin of the surgical site, and cleanse chronic and acute wounds. They are also used to treat open wounds and sometimes infections of the skin [3, 4].
Detailed explanation-4: -Keeping the wound soft through the healing process helps to minimize scars while not allowing hard scabs to form. Antibiotic ointments – and other treatment options recommended by your physician – applied during the early stages of healing will keep the skin around the wound soft and pliable.
