Hydrogen Peroxide Impetigo
On the application of hydrogen peroxide to impetigo
Impetigo is a common skin disease, mostly caused by infection. The world often thinks, can hydrogen peroxide be used for impetigo?
View the properties of hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidizing properties. When cleaning the wound, it can contact the tissue or bacteria at the wound to produce reactive oxygen species, which can break the cell wall and cell membrane of bacteria, and then kill bacteria. Therefore, in theory, hydrogen peroxide seems to be used for the treatment of impetigo, in order to clean the wound and prevent the spread of infection.
However, practical application requires caution. The skin of impetigo is already damaged. If applied directly with high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, or cause wound irritation, the pain of the patient will be exacerbated, and normal skin tissue may be damaged, delaying wound healing.
Doctors use hydrogen peroxide more often, often dilute it first, and wipe the impetigo wound with an appropriate concentration. And pay attention when using it, do not wipe it too much, so as not to destroy the healing environment of the wound. After cleaning with hydrogen peroxide, other drugs, such as antibiotic ointment, are often used to strengthen the anti-infection effect and promote the early healing of the wound.
In summary, the application of hydrogen peroxide in impetigo has advantages and disadvantages. If used properly, it can help clean the wound and prevent infection; if used improperly, it may cause adverse consequences. Therefore, when patients encounter impetigo, they should consult a doctor and then proceed without authorization.
