Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol cannot be used together, because hydrogen peroxide is prone to chemical reactions with alcohol, resulting in a decrease in the disinfection ability of alcohol.
Since hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing chemical, when it is used with alcohol, it will first dilute the alcohol, and then a chemical reaction will occur, which will reduce the sterilization and disinfection effect of the alcohol, so the two cannot be used together. And if it is to disinfect the wound, alcohol is generally not used, which will damage the tissue, dissolve the subcutaneous fat, and cause damage.
When using alcohol to disinfect wounds, gently wipe the wound with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Hydrogen peroxide is a common drug, and its redox reaction can kill common bacteria or spores. Usually, after using hydrogen peroxide, it will be rinsed with sterile saline to rinse away the residual hydrogen peroxide. And when using hydrogen peroxide for disinfection, you must pay attention to the concentration. Only when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is lower than 3% can the human body be disinfected.
It is recommended to carry out disinfection under the guidance of a doctor to avoid adverse reactions.
