If the wound is broken, you can apply povidone iodine. The povidone iodine applied to the wound site generally refers to a povidone iodine solution, which is a reddish brown liquid and belongs to the category of disinfectants. It is commonly used in clinical practice to treat purulent dermatitis, skin fungal infections, and small areas of mild burns. It can also disinfect small areas of skin and mucous membrane wounds. If the wound is broken, you can follow the doctor's advice to apply povidone iodine solution for treatment, which can release the iodine contained in the wound after contact and have a bactericidal effect. When taking medication, you can use a cotton swab to dip a small amount of povidone iodine solution and gently apply it from the center of the wound to the periphery, which can accelerate the speed of wound recovery and prevent wound infection.
In addition, there may be slight irritation when using povidone iodine solution, which generally gradually returns to normal. In addition, povidone iodine solution is an external medication and should not be taken orally to avoid poisoning. When using medication, it is also not allowed to use substances containing alkaloids, sodium thiosulfate, starch, etc. at the same time to avoid interaction and harm to the body. For people with allergic constitution, medication should be used with caution to avoid allergic reactions.
