Potassium permanganate solution is commonly used in the treatment of gynecological inflammation and superficial skin infections, such as acute dermatitis, acute eczema, cleansing of small-area skin ulcers and infected wounds, as well as vaginal irrigation for vaginitis and cervical erosion caused by gynecological inflammation. It may also be used to eliminate axillary and foot odor, providing antipruritic effects and reducing localized odor.
