Hydrogen Peroxide on Piercing

On the pros and cons of using hydrogen peroxide for puncture.
The act of puncture is quite common in this world, either for decoration or for healing. However, people have different opinions on the use of hydrogen peroxide at the puncture site. It should be reviewed in detail between uses.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. When applied to the puncture site, it can react with tissue fluid, bacteria, etc., and release primary ecological oxygen. This oxygen has strong bactericidal ability, which can remove bacteria that breed at the puncture site and prevent infection. If there is a slight redness and swelling in the area after puncture, wiping it lightly with hydrogen peroxide can gradually slow down the redness and swelling, and the growth of bacteria is blocked, which is more beneficial to the wound.

However, the use of hydrogen peroxide also has drawbacks. Although its strong oxidation can sterilize, it also irritates normal tissues. The puncture site is already damaged to the skin, and the nerve endings are exposed. Washing with hydrogen peroxide often causes a tingling sensation, which is even unbearable to the patient. And excessive use of hydrogen peroxide may cause excessive oxidation of local tissues, affecting the normal metabolism of cells and delaying the healing process of the wound. If the puncture wound is repeatedly washed with hydrogen peroxide, it can be seen that the skin around the wound is white and hard, which is a sign of excessive oxidation of the tissue.

Therefore, the use of hydrogen peroxide at the puncture site should be done with caution. At the beginning, the wound is unclean, and it is not impossible to use it in small amounts and moderately to clean it and prevent it from staining. However, if the wound gradually heals and it is still used frequently, it will cause more harm and less benefit. The doctor should weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to the condition of the wound and the patient's body sensation, and decide the use of hydrogen peroxide, so that the patient can avoid the worry of infection and the pain of excessive stimulation.
