TCP liquid contains a mixture of active ingredients, including phenol and chloroxylenol, which are effective at killing bacteria and other microorganisms on contact.

How does phenol kill bacteria?
Phenol is a disinfectant that kills bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane. This causes the contents of the bacterial cell to leak out, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. Phenol is a strong disinfectant and is effective against a wide range of bacteria. It is often used in hospitals and other healthcare settings to disinfect surfaces and equipment.
What are the potential side effects of using TCP liquid on the skin?
TCP liquid can cause irritation and dryness to the skin when used repeatedly or in high concentrations. It may also cause redness, itching, and burning sensations. In rare cases, it can cause more severe reactions such as rashes, allergic reactions, and contact dermatitis. To avoid these side effects, it is important to follow the instructions on the product label and avoid prolonged contact with the skin. If irritation occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
