On the advantages and disadvantages of applying hydrogen peroxide to wounds
Applying hydrogen peroxide to wounds, many people have done it, but its advantages and disadvantages should also be investigated in detail.

For hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name is hydrogen peroxide solution. Apply it to the wound, and when it encounters catalase in the tissue, it decomposes and releases new oxygen. This oxygen has strong oxidation power and can kill common bacteria, spores and other pathogens to achieve disinfection effect. Therefore, for superficial minor injuries, applying it at the beginning can clean the wound surface, prevent the growth of microorganisms, and prevent the gradual growth of infection.

However, everything is limited, and overuse of hydrogen peroxide is also harmful. First, the strong oxidation effect of hydrogen peroxide can also damage normal tissue cells when killing pathogens. The skin and mucous membranes are delicate, and repeated irritation can cause cell damage and delay the healing process. Second, long-term use of hydrogen peroxide can cause changes in the local tissue microenvironment, affecting healing factors and normal cell activities. And its decomposition products can cause the accumulation of bubbles in the tissue, hinder blood circulation, and are not conducive to nutrient transport and waste discharge.

Therefore, use hydrogen peroxide for injuries, and be cautious. For superficial minor injuries, you can apply it lightly to disinfect at first, and then wash it with water. If the injury is serious, the wound is deep, or the injury has been dyed, you must not rely on hydrogen peroxide alone. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, and follow the doctor's advice to perform proper treatment.

In summary, the use of hydrogen peroxide for wounds has advantages and disadvantages. It should not be abused blindly. It should be used in a balanced manner to achieve the best treatment effect and promote the rapid healing of wounds.
