Is it okay to apply iodine tincture directly to the wound?

Many people will have questions about what iodine tincture is, but when it comes to iodine wine, everyone knows what it is. In fact, iodine tincture is also called iodine wine. They are the same thing. Friends who don’t understand should know it after reading this. Iodine tincture is often used for skin infections and disinfection in daily life. Of course, this is only one use of iodine tincture. Iodine tincture can also play a disinfecting role for some other minor diseases. Many friends are asking whether it is okay to wipe the wound directly with iodine tincture? Most people do not agree with this method. Below we will compare two similar disinfectants. I believe everyone will have a basic conclusion in their minds.

1. Iodine tincture

There is only one letter difference between tincture of iodine and iodine tincture, but the difference is very obvious and you must distinguish them clearly. Generally speaking, iodine tincture contains alcohol, which is quite irritating to wounds. It is quite painful to apply this solution to the wound, but its disinfection ability is very strong, stronger than iodine tincture. Generally, the complete skin should be disinfected, which has good disinfection ability and will not cause irritation to the skin. The patient will not have any discomfort symptoms and will be relatively easy to accept. It should be noted that after wiping the iodine, you need to wipe it with alcohol to deiodine, otherwise it will irritate the skin. If you cannot clearly distinguish between iodine tincture and iodine tincture, pay attention to whether there is alcohol in the morning breeze of the medicine. Generally, alcohol is not suitable for disinfecting damaged skin.

2. Iodine

This is the most commonly used medicine recommended by experts for home use. Iodine tincture has a very good disinfecting effect. It is generally used to disinfect the intestinal cavity at the stump before intestinal anastomosis during surgery, and the effect is relatively good. The biggest advantage of iodine tincture is that it has little irritation and can directly disinfect the mucous membrane. For example, it is commonly used in dentistry to disinfect oral mucosa and general surgery to disinfect the anus. It usually does not cause irritation or pain. Patients feel almost no discomfort after applying the medicine, and they are relatively easy to accept. It is also relatively suitable and easy to accept for children. It can be regarded as a good medicine for home and travel.

Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has a better understanding of this issue, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Warm reminder: Do you want to know whether it is okay to apply iodine tincture directly to the wound? You need to understand the difference between the two. Only by understanding the difference between the two can you better apply the medicine, which will reduce the side effects of the medicine and the effect will be relatively good.
