Hydrogen Peroxide Skin Burns
In recent times, people have heard that hydrogen peroxide can cause skin burns. Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name of hydrogen peroxide, is active and has strong oxidation ability.
Human skin is originally delicate and protected by a sebum membrane. However, once hydrogen peroxide touches the skin, its molecular peroxygen bonds are extremely unstable, easily broken and release reactive oxygen atoms. This reactive oxygen species has strong oxidative power and can react with various components in the skin such as oils and proteins at equal speed.
When oil encounters it, it may cause peroxidation and lose its ability to moisturize the skin; when protein is oxidized, its structure disintegrates and its function is lost. And the process of oxidation often generates heat, which accumulates in the skin and also damages cells. If the cells are damaged, the skin will be red, swollen, painful, and even ulcerated, which is the appearance of hydrogen peroxide burning the skin.
Looking at the reason, when using hydrogen peroxide, be careful, know its nature in detail, follow the method of use, if you accidentally touch the skin, quickly rinse it with water, and in severe cases seek medical treatment to avoid serious skin injuries.
