Answer» Antiseptics- Antiseptics are the chemical substances which provent the growth of micro-organism and may even kill them. They are safe to be applied to living tissues. Thus, they are generally applied on the wounds, cuts, ulcers and diseased skin surfaces in form of antiseptic cream like furacin, soframycin. Antiseptics are also added to face powder, breath purifiers, etc to reduce the odour produced as a result of bacterial decomposition of organic matter on the body or in the mouth. |
