It is used in the practice of surgery, as an antiseptic in all wounds or sores where there is a tendency to putrefaction. In eczema, pityriasis, psoriasis, and vesicular eruptions of the skin, with much burning and itching; and many cases of the itch have been cured with the carbolic lotion.For all putrefactive, sloughing ulcers and wounds, the local use of the acid cannot be dispensed with; it not only removes the fetor, but causes healthy granulations to spring up. Itching vesicles with burning pain.
