Antiseptics are substances that inhibit the growth of or destroy microorganisms on living tissues, helping to prevent infection. They are commonly used in medical settings for skin disinfection before surgeries or procedures and for treating wounds. Antiseptics differ from antibiotics, which target bacteria within the body, as antiseptics are applied externally. Examples include alcohol, iodine solutions, and chlorhexidine.
