Antiseptics are generally better for wound care than alcohol, as they are specifically formulated to prevent infection without damaging surrounding tissue. Alcohol can be effective for disinfecting skin but can also cause irritation and slow the healing process. Antiseptics, like iodine or chlorhexidine, tend to be gentler and more suitable for treating wounds. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate wound care advice.
