Iodine tincture is a topical antiseptic solution containing iodine in alcohol. It’s commonly used to disinfect skin before surgery, injections, or other procedures. The alcohol helps the iodine penetrate the skin quickly, where it acts to kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes. It’s recognizable by its dark brown color and distinctive antiseptic smell.
