iodine tincture
Brown wound disinfectant
Iodine tincture is a solution of iodine dissolved in alcohol, used as an antiseptic for minor cuts and wounds.
The reddish-brown liquid stings when applied but kills bacteria effectively.
It was once a medicine cabinet staple before being largely replaced by less irritating antiseptics: She dabbed iodine tincture on the scrape.
