Discussions tagged “handwashing”

I've been using Betasept 4% Liquid for handwashing in my healthcare job. I've heard it can cause skin irritation. I actually got some redness and itching after my first use. Should I be concerned, or is this a normal reaction? I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience, or if there are any tips for avoiding this side effect. I like to prevent infections but don't want to hurt my skin in the process.
