Can Too Use Of Isopropyl Alcohol For Cleaning Cuts Cause Numbness?

I had a cut on my arm and hand small surface cuts, and i just kept cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol 70% and I think I may have done it too much. Because now I feel a slight numbness. But maybe I am over thinking it and my mind is playing tricks on me.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had abrasions on the arm and the hand, you have applied only antiseptic, but it needs antibiotics, for control of infection.
It is not the over thinking, and playing of the mind, it might be the infection.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, serratiopeptidase, diclofenac and fucidic acid ointment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
