Hydrogen Peroxide on Cuts

On the use of hydrogen peroxide in the wound

The principle of the patient's wound is related to health, and the way of medication should not be careless. There are different opinions on the use of hydrogen peroxide in the wound today, and it should be carefully examined.

In the past, doctors may use this liquid on the wound, because it has the ability to kill bacteria. The enzyme of hydrogen peroxide in the wound explains oxygen. Oxygen has strong oxidative power, which can kill all kinds of germs and prevent the infection of the wound.

However, today's doctors have many new ideas. The skin of the wound is delicate, and the strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria, but it also hurts healthy cells. Damage to the cells of the wound hinders the healing process. If it is used repeatedly, it may cause tissue fibrosis in the injured area, and the disease of leaving a scar will increase.

Therefore, the use of hydrogen peroxide in the injured area should be weighed against the pros and cons. For shallow and small injuries, those who are clean and free of filth should be rinsed with clean water and wiped lightly with iodophor, which can prevent dyeing and promote healing. There is no need to use this strong oxidizing agent. If the injury is serious and filthy, or hydrogen peroxide can be used for initial cleaning, it should be rinsed with normal saline as soon as possible, and then treated in other ways to avoid injury.

In short, the use of injuries should be based on protecting and promoting healing. The use of hydrogen peroxide cannot be generalized, but must be discretionary according to the severity and filth of the injury.
