AI Thread Summary
Isopropyl alcohol is not effective for dissolving blood clots in wounds and may not be the best choice for wound care. While it can clean wounds, there are more effective methods for managing chronic wounds, such as debridement and irrigation with saline or Ringer's solution. Research indicates that many common topical agents, including alcohol, may be locally toxic and not enhance healing. Alternatives like polyhexanide/betaine show promise for wound care, but further studies are necessary to confirm their efficacy. Proper wound management is essential to reduce infection risk and promote healing.

I have old cuts I put rubbing isopropyl alcohol on it, it cleaned slowly and vanish the blood clots, I would likes to know can isopropyl alcohol Blood clots soluble?

@Lakkana Can you please rephrase the question in a more understandable way ?
 
I am afraid it is a machine translation and it won't be better. Moreover, our answers - after going the same path to the OP - won't be much better.

Sounds painful. Here is a paper on wound care from NCBI -- there are better solutions for dissolving external blood clots and doing proper wound care:

Wound cleaning and wound healing: a concise review [/size]​

Abstract​

Chronic wounds present a significant societal burden in their cost of care, and they reduce patient quality of life. Key components of wound care include such measures as debridement, irrigation, and wound cleaning. Appropriate care removes necrotic tissue and reduces wound bioburden to enhance wound healing. Physical cleaning with debridement and irrigation is of documented efficacy. Wounds may be washed with water, saline, or Ringer's solution or cleaned with active ingredients, such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, acetic acid, alcohol, ionized silver preparations, chlorhexidine, polyhexanide/betaine solution, or povidone-iodine--the majority of which are locally toxic and of limited or no proven efficacy in enhancing wound healing. Although the consensus opinion is that these topical cleaning agents should not be routinely used, recent clinical evidence suggests that polyhexanide/betaine may be nontoxic and effective in enhancing wound healing. Further well-designed studies are needed.
