Why would you use a disinfectant as an antiseptic?
Roughly speaking, a disinfectant and an antiseptic are the same thing in that both are used to kill germs and/or prevent their growth. In common usage, 'disinfectant' is more likely to be used to refer to a chemical used in cleaning, while 'antiseptic' is more likely to be used to refer to a chemical applied to the skin to kill germs, such as an alcohol wipe applied before giving an injection with a hypodermic needle.
How do pastes differ from ointments and creams?
Ointments are petroleum based - thus the slightly greasy feeling. Creams are water based. As for which is appropriate for usage - I go by this rule. Creams tend to dry out the area on which they are used (which are great for things like acne, etc). Ointments will hydrate the skin more - so if the skin is dry to begin with (not oily), then ointment is your best bet. You should be able to get both the ointment and cream in the same strength (% solution). Hope this helps.
