What is the value of using betadine solution in cleaning wounds?
betadine is the trade name for Povidine-iodine. It works as an antiseptic and kills not only bacteria but healing cells within the wound. It is used in wound care primarily to maintain dry ulcers that are not expected to heal or for which moist wound healing is contraindicated (eg arterial ulcers). In cases where healing the wound is secondary to killing the bacteria, then Povidone-iodine can be used temporarily. In these cases, the critical level of bacteria is preventing wound healing anyways. Povidone-iodine will only kill superficial bacteria: it does not penetrate into the tissues. It should not be used on those who have iodine allergies, seafood allergies or certain thyroid diseases.

What is antiseptic lotion?
I think that they work the same way as injections but I'm not sure? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as I understand nothing like an injection. An antiseptic cream reduces the chance of infection from bacterial agents on the skin. It is a topical treatment, that is it is applied to the skin, and provides a barrier between the vulnerable area and the hostile environment. Furthermore it may have a "drawing" effect, i.e. it draws out infected matter from the wound in the way that a poultice might. It stops the wound from drying up and may be needed to be used for some days to ensure that all infected material is removed before changing to a treatment that allows the wound to close and heal. Then a lotion could be applied which will protect the area and support final healing.
