Re: Betadine--Possible Caution

[Guest guest]

Hello all!

If you are using betadine and having problems with it--you might like to try

Hibiclens--also antibacterial; used in treating wounds (cleansing) and surgery.

It's a pleasant pink color with no detectable fragrance for those of you

bothered

by perfumes in formulas. Right now I'm using the Hibiclens to treat an itchy

" athlete's foot " --cleansing with at least once a day
