Potassium permanganate has antiseptic properties and is sometimes used as a disinfectant, though whether you'd call it common depends on how you use the term. It should be used with extreme care, including eye protection, because it's a strong oxidising agent. It also stains your hands badly, so gloves are also a good idea. It reacts with glycerol (glycerine, as used in cough medicines) and catches fire.
