Does anyone know if Thailand sells any form of iodine? I have a skin issue that I need it for but don't want to travel with it on the place. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, iodine is commonly available in Thailand, with products like Betadine found in various stores and pharmacies, including convenience stores like 7/11 and Family Mart. Betadine, which is iodine-based, is widely used for antiseptic purposes. Other forms of iodine, such as tinctures, can also be easily found at pharmacies.
