Mercurochrome, once a popular antiseptic for minor cuts and scrapes, has largely been replaced by other antiseptics due to concerns over Mercury content. Common alternatives include povidone-iodine (Betadine), hydrogen peroxide, and saline solution, which provide effective cleaning and infection prevention without the risks associated with mercury. Additionally, alcohol-based antiseptics are frequently used for their rapid action against bacteria. Always consult a healthcare professional for the best option based on individual needs.
