Finding the Best First Aid Antiseptic Liquid
You can find a great first aid antiseptic liquid online, no matter what your personal preferences are. If you prefer more natural applications you can find a vast number of products that incorporate such ingredients as honey, tea tree oil and other nature based products that both treat the area for infection and soothe the surrounding skin.

Common First Aid Application Solutions

The trick is to purchase a first aid application that contains tea tree oil in a diluted form that is safe for use on the skin for treating scrapes, cuts and minor burns.
GENTIAN VIOLET
GENTIAN VIOLET
Gentian violet is another cabinet go-to. It is a gram stain that, much like the name suggests is a deep violet color. A cotton ball allows for a mess-free application if you are careful, and the dark dye works to eliminate bacteria from the injury site. The most common complaint with this antiseptic treatment is that it stains whatever it touches. If you are not careful you, the sink, the injured individual and whatever clothes and other surfaces that it comes in contact with are sure to become a lusty purple and stay that way for quite some time.
It also may not be as effective against the germs that cause staph and MRSA infections. If you aren't keen on having stained skin, clothing and cabinets, you are likely to not be found of iodine applications either which can leave a nasty red-brown rust color wherever they are applied as well.
