Abstract
Nowadays, 10% povidone-iodine is a topical antiseptic solution that is commonly used in surgical areas’ sterilization, wound cleaning and daily wound dressing. Severe complications may arise from povidone-iodine when it is not used carefully and in adequate proportion. Povidone-iodine-induced chemical skin reactions is one of the severe complications. Given the widespread use of povidone-iodine, clinicians need to be aware of this possible adverse drug reaction and of preventive cautions. This report presents two cases about povidone-iodine related skin reaction (these reactions are also called as chemical burns or chemical skin reactions) which are encountered in our hospital (Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey) to point this important issue.
