•  The most common cause of blisters is friction against soft or moist skin. Broken blisters can be susceptible to infection because the protective outer skin is broken and the wound underneath is exposed. 
• Whether the blister is broken or still intact, it’s important to keep it clean and covered with a dressing to protect it.
  
• Savlon Antiseptic Cream can be applied to the blister before the dressing to help reduce pain as well as to help prevent infection during the healing process.

• Shaving cuts can be particularly painful and bleed a lot which can make them difficult to treat.
• Shaving cuts on the face may take longer to heal if the skin is moving more through facial movements so the application of  Savlon Antiseptic Cream will help to prevent infection.

How to use:

1. Wash hands prior to the application to ensure that your hands are clean.
