It has been in the past. It's less common today, but there are still disinfectants or antiseptics that contain phenol. It's sometimes listed in the ingredients under its former common name, "carbolic acid."
Phenolics kill microbes by disrupting the cell wall or cell membrane, thus causing lysis of the cell, or denaturing the metabolic enzymes of the cell causing cell death.

Analgesics are pain killers.
phenol
Phenol is used as a numbing agent, and is contained in products such as Chloraseptic throat spray. It is also used on irritated skin to kill microbes and reduce risk of infections. It is very toxic in high doses, so should be used carefully. The major contraindication for phenol is allergic sensitivity to it.
Phenol is flammable.
You add a specific ionic compound in a solution to determine if phenol or any of its derivatives are present. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) for example, can be used for such tests. Basically, when you mix the solution with the compound, the ions will interact with the phenol molecules or groups, and as a result, the solution will briefly change color. If there is no colour change in the solution, this suggest there is no phenol or phenol-based molecules in your solution.

does germ x ever expire? if used will it harm us?
Phenol is also known as carbolic acid, and is used as a disinfecting agent and topical anesthetic. It may be used to cauterize small wounds and is used in conjunction with calamine (zinc oxide and ferric oxide) as an antipruritic, or anti-itch agent. The phenol most likely is present for its anesthetic effects to calm the itching sensation.
