The present invention relates to an antiseptic composition for treating a human infected with a virus, a bacteria or a fungus, for example, disordered epithelial tissues such as cold sores and other complications resulting from herpes and the like. The composition includes an anti-infective and/or antimicrobial active agent such as benzalkonium chloride in an amount between about 0.1-0.3% by volume (e.g., 0.13%) in a carrier such as an aqueous 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Application may include vigorous agitation of the disordered epithelial tissue for topical treatment thereof under such conditions sufficient to achieve clinically discernable improvement of the disordered epithelial tissue. The compositions may be used also in connection with specially configured applicators.
