I used alcohol to clean a blemish i had the other evening. our 2 yr old got a splash in his eye. it is now red. i am panicking! is he going to be ok?

Yes: This is slightly irritating but should not cause permanent damage. Soap and water are actually better than any of the alcohols for skin cleaning.
