I recently suffered a minor cut and had to use Betadine 10% Solution as an antiseptic. The burn stung badly, just like everyone warned and I expected. But that's not my main concern. I've read about some side effects that sound pretty serious, like allergic reactions and skin irritation. Has anyone else experienced these? I want to know what to watch out for. I've also seen people mention a type of skin damage that happens when you use betadine frequently. Is it true?
