Chlorhexidine isn't an alcohol.

Why would a bruise need cleaning? A bruise is always caused by internal bleeding into the interstitial tissues which does not break through the skin.

I think you may be misunderstanding someone who isn't a native English speaker.

I believe they, restated, indicated that they are aware of the alcohol content, because they use it to clean wounds to the skin.

English is indeed not my first language and I wasn’t aware that the definition of a “bruise” required there to be no breaking of the skin, I always thought it just meant a light wound, like you’d get from falling off a bike at low speed.

The reason I mentioned alcohol is that chlorhexidine is often combined with alcohol in products used for cleaning wounds, but you are correct, it’s not an alcohol.

Regardless, the point of my comment was not on how to properly clean wounds, but that you do not need to rinse your mouth with “wound-cleaners”, not all mouthwashes contain this and that means that the statement that mouthwashes are “debunked” is complete nonsense.
