"I had a severe allergic reaction a few hours after my biopsy. It caused major rash, swelling, and burning. I thought it was the incision causing pain. I will be on prednisone for 3 weeks. This is a horrible product."

"Was provided with Hibiclens to shower with the night before and the morning of the 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 with a 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."
