Abstract:
Using antiseptics is common, it is adequate on safe skin, but no scientific study allow their use on break skin. Then, cicatrisation is a complex process with a physiological bacteriocycle. Usual antiseptics are responsible of fibroblasts destruction and only a short effect on bacteries. So, it is logical not to use antiseptics on break skin.
