Fingers Turn White After Using Hydrogen Peroxide
An analysis of the whitening of fingers after using hydrogen peroxide
Recently, I used hydrogen peroxide to clean things. After the matter, I saw that the fingers were white, and I was surprised, so I investigated the reason.
The person with hydrogen peroxide is chemically called hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidizing properties. It touches the skin and has the ability to oxidize immediately. The epidermis of the finger is rich in protein. When hydrogen peroxide encounters it, it is like a strong wind encountering weak grass, and the protein structure is suddenly damaged. This extraordinary change in damage is a chemical transformation that causes protein denaturation. The mutated protein has a great change in character, and the color turns from normal to white, just like burning wood with fire, and the wood color changes gradually.
When hydrogen peroxide decomposes, oxygen atoms escape. This new oxygen is active and abnormal, and its oxidation is even more than that of hydrogen peroxide itself. On the surface of the finger, it oxidizes rapidly, accelerating the denaturation process of proteins. This process is like a hurricane, making the finger white quickly appear.
Furthermore, the stratum corneum of the finger skin is originally a protective shield. However, in the face of hydrogen peroxide, this shield is also difficult to resist. The components in the stratum corneum are attacked by oxidation, resulting in water loss and loose structure. When moisture is lost, the appearance of the stratum corneum changes, and white is also born.
I understand this now. In the future, when using hydrogen peroxide, you should be cautious and must use protective equipment to prevent the skin from this change again. Only by knowing the reason for everything can you avoid harm and profit and protect your health.
