I use hydrogen peroxide because it’s a multi purpose item in the shed. Online resources recommend not using it because it’s too strong and it kills healthy cells along with the bacteria and causes more time to heal. My thinking is to err on too strong rather than too weak......I want that bacteria dead. If I have to wear a bandaid for three days instead of two, I’m okay with that. I’m only referring to minor cuts and I’ll leave it to the professionals for anything needing stitches.
Thinking back it was my own fault. Pouring a little hydrogen peroxide on the cut and putting on a bandaid was way to casual. Lesson learned.
You know what they say, a smart man learns from his mistakes but a wise man learns from other people’s mistakes. Hopefully people learn from my mistake.
