HydrogenPeroxide ColdSores

On the effect of hydrogen peroxide on cold sores
Cold sores, is a common disease, troubled by many. Today to explore the role of hydrogen peroxide in this disease.

Hydrogen peroxide, with oxidative properties, is widely used in medicine and daily cleaning. When it encounters organic matter, it can decompose and release new oxygen, which has bactericidal power. Cold sores, mostly caused by herpes simplex virus, often appear in clusters of blisters at the junction of skin mucosa.

According to experimental and clinical experience, hydrogen peroxide may have certain benefits in cold sores. With an appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide, gently wiping the cold sores can use its oxidative sterilization ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria around herpes and prevent secondary infection. And moderate cleaning may improve the local environment and facilitate the healing of herpes.

However, it should be clear that although hydrogen peroxide has this effect, it should not be overused. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive. If applied to cold sores, it will cause local skin mucosal damage and aggravate discomfort. And it can only act on the surface, and it is difficult to eradicate viruses that have invaded cells.

Therefore, hydrogen peroxide in the prevention and treatment of cold sores may be an auxiliary method. If the herpes is serious, you still need to seek medical attention. According to the doctor's advice, it is appropriate to use antiviral and other drugs for standardized treatment.
