I would use Nolvasan (chlorhexidine solution) over any other product. When diluted correctly it is effective against viruses, bacteria, AND fungi without being cytotoxic (destroying cells). Listerine has an alcohol base and would surely damage cells, though I know we rinse with it, we're talking about an open sore here. Hydrogen peroxide is also bad for open wounds despite popular belief because it too destroys cells and will disrupt fibroblasts which are necessary for proper healing. It is also a very poor disinfectant when compared to chlorhexidine. I really think chlorhexidine is something you need to keep on hand when you have reptiles as you can use it to clean enclosures and wounds.

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FUJDS0 That's the brand we use at work (I'm a vet tech) and thus what I use at home and it works great. That bottle will last you forever too as the dilution used is very very small.
