Chlorhexidine soap is used for skin cleansing and antisepsis, but it should not be considered a treatment for every skin condition. If you are dealing with persistent itching or a suspected contagious skin condition, it is important to recognize the signs, such as those described in this guide to the symptoms of scabies.

What is Chlorhexidine for?

Chlorhexidine (CHX) is an aseptic mouthrinse that is considered the gold standard antimicrobial treatment in the chemical prevention of plaque formation and pyorrhea [1]. It not only inhibits the multiplication of plaque bacteria and diastases, but also eliminates them. For broader skin-care considerations, including choosing appropriate sun protection, see this guide on how to choose the best SPF 50.

What is 4 percent chlorhexidine?

Hygiene, antisepsis and skin care. BactiScrub is an aseptic 4% saponaceous chlorhexidine gel for hygiene and antisepsis. The gel format ensures greater dermal absorption of chlorhexidine and the emollients present in it provide moisture to your skin. For additional information about products focused on skin hydration, see Hyaluge. Because some cleansing and antiseptic products can be drying, maintaining adequate skin hydration can also be an important part of a skin-care routine. For another approach to skin hydration, see this guide to moisturizing ampoules.
