Hydrogen Peroxide Sunburn

On the effect of hydrogen peroxide on sunburn
In modern times, people are often trapped in the disturbance of sunburn, and they always seek a good remedy to solve it. Among all kinds of healing methods, the use of hydrogen peroxide is quite thought-provoking.

Or hydrogen peroxide has the ability to sterilize and clean, which can help sunburned skin remove filth and prevent it from becoming infected. When the skin is scorched by the sun, the epidermis is damaged, and bacteria are easily invaded, wiping it lightly with hydrogen peroxide seems to build a protective wall and block bacteria from the outside.

However, there are also objections. Hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing, and although it can sterilize, it may increase the burden on the skin due to its strong oxidizing power. The sunburned skin is already fragile. If it is stimulated by this again, it may make the redness, swelling and pain even worse. And the skin has its own ability to repair. Excessive intervention, applying strong oxidative substances, or disrupting the order of skin repair, delays healing.

Considering the actual situation, applying hydrogen peroxide to sunburned skin should be done with caution. If the sunburn is minor, the skin is only slightly red and slightly painful, you can use hydrogen peroxide in small amounts and lightly, and you need to closely observe the skin's reaction when using it. If there is any discomfort, stop it immediately. In severe cases, the skin has foamed and broken, so you should never use it rashly. Seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's instructions for healing.

In short, hydrogen peroxide has advantages and disadvantages for sunburn. If used properly, it may help the skin recover; if used inadvertently, there will be endless consequences. Therefore, when everyone is in skin care and healing, it is necessary to be reasonable and cautious.
