For Skin Disinfection, Preoperative "I had a severe allergic reaction a few hours after my biopsy. It caused major rash swelling burning. I thought it was the incision causing pain. I will be on prednisone for 3 weeks. This is a horrible product"

For Skin Disinfection, Preoperative "I used Hibiclens before my surgery without experiencing any adverse effects. However, after I arrived home, my skin began to burn and blister. One of my legs was swollen, and I felt tightness in my throat and chest area. I will never use this product again as the reaction was worse than the surgery itself."
