What is hydrogen peroxide?

For minor burns, scrapes, and wounds, hydrogen peroxide is a gentle antibacterial that can be applied directly to the skin. Additionally, it can be used as a mouthwash to help clear mucus or to soothe minor mouth irritation (caused, for example, by canker/cold sores, gingivitis).

When this product is administered to the damaged area, oxygen is released, which causes it to work. Foaming is a result of the oxygen being released, and it helps to clean the region by removing dead skin. Deep wounds, animal bites, & severe burns should not be treated with this medication.
