Iodine can cause a lasting stinging sensation called iodine burn. Burning isespecially likely if the wound is covered with a bandage before the iodine has had time to dry. It is also more likely with iodine solutions that contain7% iodine or more. Iodine solutions this strong should not be used as antiseptics.
Some people develop an allergy to iodine when they use it repeatedly. Anyonewho has a rash, a lasting burning sensation, or an unusually warm feeling inthe area where the iodine was applied should contact a physician or pharmacist.
