Hydrogen Peroxide on Burn

On the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen peroxide on burns and scalds
Mortals often think of applying hydrogen peroxide to the affected area when encountering burns and scalds. However, the advantages and disadvantages of this move cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. It can remove filth and kill germs in trauma, so it is also beneficial for people to think about burns and scalds. If the scalded area is stained, wipe it lightly with hydrogen peroxide, which can remove dirt, prevent it from spoiling, and prevent the growth of pathogens. This is also beneficial.

If the skin is burned and scalded, it is already fragile and damaged. Although hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing, it can clean and sterilize, but it can also irritate the wound. It comes into contact with tissues, releases oxygen, or causes new tissues to be impacted, prolonging the healing time and increasing the pain of the injured. And overuse, or break the micro-environmental balance of the part, is not conducive to recovery.

Therefore, the use of hydrogen peroxide on burns and scalds should be done with caution. Those with minor burns and clean wounds do not need to use it. If the wound is stained, you can use a mild agent to clean it first, and then use hydrogen peroxide as appropriate, and the dosage and frequency should be careful, and rinse it with water after use. In severe cases, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, follow the doctor's advice, and do not use hydrogen peroxide without authorization, so as not to accidentally injure the situation and leave behind subsequent problems. In short, it is the best policy to use hydrogen peroxide on burns and scalds, weigh the pros and cons, and be cautious.
