No, it is used in operations, also it used to be put on neat if you had a wound I remember my mum doing that in the '60's

Yes. all halogens are extremely caustic and cause burns. The degree of damage depends on the concentration and time in contact.

No- we actually just used it today in bio. Of course anything is bad with over-exposure, but it's often used to heal cuts and is just fine.
