Basically if you get an injury like a scratch, you rub an antiseptic solution on it to reduce the chance of a bacterial infection, but if someone had a full blown bacterial infection, antiseptic solution wouldn’t do anything. Why is that?

Generally speaking antiseptics work by killing living tissue through a variety of mechanisms. If an infection has managed to invade your cells, causing an infection, you could use an antiseptic…but it would also destroy what you’re trying to save. And depending how large the infection is, you could kill the person.
Or you can use the much more targeted antibiotics, which specifically kill bacteria…much better for the host.
In summary, don’t drink, inject, inhale etc Bleach to try to kill an infection.
