Is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide on a cut while pregnant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There should be no concern to your baby from the topical application of Hydrogen peroxide. I would make sure the cut is not infected though, keep it clean and see a doctor if it is not healing well.

Yes: But use it half strength. It is not the best cleanser for wounds, though. A mild dilute soap is fine.
