How come some anti-septic washes hurt and others don't hurt?

Best Tip
anything with alcohol will hurt as will anything from a spray can like bactine because they have to use a propellent agent like propane. The best ones to use have an ingredient to numb pain such as lidocaine or benzene but not from a spray can.

Others
Probably the ingredients -- if something has alcohol or something else similarly strong, it will sting.
SOme anti-septic washes contain alcohol and others don't. The alcohol is what burns you.
Because some add a small dose of a numbing agent.
Did I pass? :)
Look for alcohol content in the ingredients..it is what makes the medicine sting.
some have alchol content that is higher then others
because some contain alcohols and some dont
