Hydrogen Peroxide shouldn't be used for burns and it prevents a burn from healing, is this true?

Answer 1

you should not use it for burns it will prevent it from healing because it will eat the scabs that help it to heal it will keep it very soft and wont allow the skin to grow over and heal you should use a burn cream not spray cover the burn with the cream and rap it in a bandage change the bandage and add cream every two days and you will see it healing good within a week use the white cotton bandage so air can get through

Answer 2

Its not the best but as long as its a low concentration it should be fine. It will remove dead tissue and kill bacteria that could infect the burn. Rubbing alcohol would be a much better topical treatment for burns. Although I should say that if its a second or third degree burn you need to see a doctor as fast as you can.
