Irrigation of a wound with plain water (or sterile saline if you want to be fancy) is the best course of action......dilution is the solution to pollution.<br>Chris is correct, alcohol and peroxide are quite injurious to tissue and should not be applied to a wound. <br>Betadine solution is the least toxic antiseptic to use on wounds that I am familiar with. I prefer not to use neosporin in my practice and use plain bacitracin ointment simply because a large number of people are allergic to the neomycin in neosporin
