The Guru Index verdict
Mixed
~Mixed · 56%What the gurus are saying
Dermatologists unanimously advise against using hydrogen peroxide on fresh wounds or cuts. While it is antiseptic and kills bacteria, it is cytotoxic to healthy skin cells, including fibroblasts essential for wound repair. The bubbling action that seems beneficial is actually a sign of cell damage, and repeated use delays healing rather than accelerates it.
