摘要
For more than a century, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been known as an antiseptic. Three percent H2O2 is used in minor wound irrigations, producing oxygen bubbles and transient skin blanching. Many people who use H2O2 as an antiseptic are alarmed at this phenomenon. This concise report provides probable mechanisms on how H2O2-induced skin blanching is produced.
