I have used Chlorhexidine in the clinic in the following situations.

Hidradenitis Supprativa Hibiclens (Chlorhexidine  topical 4% Sol) and Doxycycline 100mg BID.
Oral rash in a pt who had oral sex. NB: Peridex also treats gingivitis. Peridex (Chlorhexidine Oropharyngeal 0.12% Sol).  Rx: 15ml swish/spit bid
PLUS Azithromycin for 5 days.

Both Chlorhexidine topical and Chlorhexidine Oropharyngeal are Chlorhexidine Gluconate solutions. The only difference is the 0.12% vs. 4%.
