Worried is it dangerous to get cream cleaner/cleaning agents in cuts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you're referring: to a cleaning agent that's designed to clean wounds, it might be more dangerous not to use it. Poor wound cleaning can lead to infection and other complications. My first line treatment is always a thorough cleansing with soap and water. Avoid any cleaners not designed for wound cleaning and any cleaning agent that stings or burns on contact with the cut. My best. Dr. Anne
