Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Surgical spirit is designed for use on intact, unbroken skin only. The alcohol content rapidly cleanses the skin by reducing surface bacteria, while repeated application can help harden the outer layer of the skin, making it less susceptible to friction blisters. This makes it particularly useful for runners, walkers, hikers and people wearing new footwear.
Never apply surgical spirit to open wounds, cuts, grazes, burns or inflamed skin, as this can cause significant pain, tissue irritation and delayed healing. When using to help prevent blisters, begin applying to the affected areas several days before prolonged activity to allow the skin time to toughen. As the product is highly flammable, always keep it away from naked flames, heat sources and cigarettes. If skin irritation, excessive dryness or an allergic reaction develops, discontinue use and seek advice from your pharmacist or GP.
