A member asked:

Can i use betadine in treating baby's wound?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I do all the time: This agent has a lot of dependible benefits.I do make an effort to remove all the residual betadine from the skin after the wound is cleaned or stitched.Leaving it on can be very drying and cause later skin sensitivity to the product.
