Bevodine is a name brand of betadine, and both contain povidone-iodine which is used for treating wounds and as an antiseptic. I can't see your original question, but if you are treating a wound or an issue such as bumblefoot/swelling you can use Epsom salts in warm water (there will be directions for how much to add depending on how much water you use) to soak the affected area in. You can then use the iodine solution on the wound after drying it off to help prevent infection.
