Summary
Skin hygiene ensures the cleaning of the skin and prevents diseases.[1] Hands are a primary transmission mode of opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas spp. that primarily cause nosocomial infections. These organisms are known to cause infections in various organs, including the skin.[2]. Hand sanitizers contain different chemical antiseptics such as chlorhexidine, chloroxylenol, iodine, triclosan, and quaternary ammonium compounds. These hand sanitizer preparations help reduce the transmission of infectious diseases more effectively.[4]
