I had a Dr. suggest to take a Blech Bath to clean infections. I looked it up on Clorox.com and it said it is not for personal usage.

It is not recommended by Clorox because of legal liability.

Bleach Wound Care
2017-01-13 07:47:38 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Change doctors! Nah just kidding, a very diluted bleach solution is sometimes used to clean wounds. If he told you to use bleach and did not give specific instructions, call back and get them. Bleach will burn the skin if not diluted correctly and is not for some body areas ever. Do not put Clorox on human hair, it dissolves it.

No. Cripes a DOCTOR told you to do that? Wrong. Never use bleach on your body for anything. A friend once took a bleach bath because she had poison ivy all over. She had to go to the emergency room after that. She was admitted and had to have some kind of special prescription cream put all over her body 4 times a day. The bleach burned her terribly.

I've used un-diluted bleach several times to clean a cut or small wound. I rinse the wound in warm water afterwards. It's never hurt me or burned my skin that I can tell and the cut or wound always healed well.

you can use bleach if you have nothing else.Heres hoe to measure...1 teaspoon of bleach into 1 quart of water.Its one of the best antiseptics but for wound care must be totally dilute.After cleaning to the wound rinse really well with clean water.Dont get it in your eyes and only use it on the wound.

Straight bleach will burn your skin. What ever quack told you to do that should go to a real medical school.

You shouldn't take a bath in it. You could apply diluted beach to surface cuts to kill bacteria. An infection is treated with antibiotics.
