2 Care for mild burn wounds: Dilute and apply externally on small-area first-degree and superficial second-degree burns after cleaning to avoid secondary wound infection.
3 Broken skin from mosquito bites and scratching: Disinfect broken and itchy areas caused by scratching mosquito bites to prevent dermatitis and inflammation from repeated scratching.
4 Broken skin from tinea pedis and foot fungal infections: Wipe eroded and peeling skin between toes to inhibit bacteria, relieve itching of broken skin and prevent cross-infection.
5 Small furuncles, folliculitis and skin pustules: Spot-apply on inflamed acne and subcutaneous small pustules to inhibit epidermal pathogenic bacteria and reduce redness and swelling.
6 Minor household abrasions and shallow wounds from pet scratches or bites: Disinfect shallow scratches and bites from cats and dogs promptly to lower the risk of skin infection.
7 Routine skin disinfection (blood collection, injection): Wipe the skin for pre-operation disinfection before home blood glucose testing and subcutaneous vaccine injection.
