Cuts and Wounds
- After washing the wound area, immediately apply some Betadine Antiseptic Liquid directly to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily. You can use a cotton pad for this.
- It is best used undiluted.

Minor Burns

For red or blistered burns, cover with a non stick sterile dressing and immediately see a doctor.
Blisters
Broken blisters are specially prone to infection. But even unbroken blisters also need the same kind of attention. Apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid to cleanse and disinfect affected area as well as surrounding areas. Then cover with a non-stick dressing and secure in place using adhesive strapping. If blister is just small, cover with a small adhesive dressing.
Tinea (Athletes Foot)
At the first sign of itching, reddening or peeling apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid. Repeat application 3 or 4 times a day.
Paronychia (Infected skin around the nails)
The inflammation involving the folds of tissue around the fingernail is called Paronychia. At the first sign of infection apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid liberally to the affected area. Repeat application 3 or 4 times daily. Keep the affected area as dry as possible.
Ringworm
This generally appears on other parts of the body other than the feet. Should be treated exactly like you treat any tinea infection. However, if the infection affects the head area it might require special treatment. It might be best to seek medical advice.
