A member asked:
Is there a kind of hydrogen peroxide that doesn't burn when applied on a wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrogen peroxide: What may have been acceptable in the past is no longer true. Do not apply hydrogen peroxide on a wound! it kills good cells along with bacteria. It is toxic to the base of the wound.
