"I had a severe allergic reaction a few hours after my biopsy. It caused major rash swelling burning. I thought it was the incision causing pain. I will be on prednisone for 3 weeks. This is a horrible product"
"Was provided w hibiclens to shower with the night before and the morning of surgical procedure. After surgery I told nurses I felt like my abdomen was on fire, they initially told me of course you had surgery, WRONG from my pelvis to my breasts I was engulfed in a horrific reaction and what looked like burns. Compound that w itha surgical site. Never again"
"I used Hibiclens before my surgery without experiencing any adverse effects. However, after I arrived home, my skin began to burn and blister. One of my legs was swollen, and I felt tightness in my throat and chest area. I will never use this product again as the reaction was worse than the surgery itself."

"Was recommended to use pre-operation. Tried it once and immediately reacted to it. Hard to breath and tight chest."
"I used to work for a Dermatologists, and he would always use Hibiclens if our patients were allergic to Iodine for minor surgeries. Love the stuff."
"I was given hibiclens in the hospital and at home after a skin infection. It gave me a serious burn on my legs."
