My understanding of H2O2 is that it is considered only a very weak antiseptic and is also toxic enough to retard proper healing. Therefore the only thing I use it for is as a flush to debride a contaminated wound or one with a lot of dead tisssue.
It's great in that case, though -- I smashed my thumb once and it was major yuck. I soaked it in h2o2 for like an hour. It was cool watching all the blood and gunk foam away, sort of like my thumb turned into an alka seltzer. Felt much better after.

Hey, let's talk about maggots!
