is alcohol or hydrogen peroxide better
a lot of people think hydrogen peroxides kills bacteria it does but far less than alcohol.. yes it hurts less but no it does not kill bacteria that alcohol does.. i work in a clinic and the doctor never uses alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for wounds.. i would use a combination of peroxide and iodine.. or just iodine itself.. Peroxide is better for cleaning cuts, because it hurts the tissues less.
Using hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean an injury can actually harm the tissue and delay healing. The best way to clean a minor wound is with cool running water and mild soap. Rinse the wound for at least five minutes to remove dirt, debris, and bacteria.
