Blistering or Peeling Skin
Hydrogen peroxide can have serious corrosive properties, especially when it is used in high concentrations. Concentrations of 10% or more are dangerous, but even lower concentrations may cause discomfort and blistering if you’re sensitive. Individuals should not pop blisters. A doctor should examine serious blistering or skin peeling. Hydrogen peroxide is dangerous if ingested, or reaches the bloodstream. However, it will not penetrate the skin unless it has been broken. Blistering and peeling of the skin are not signs that the solution is effective. They’re a sign that the solution is causing more harm than good to the skin. Bandaging blisters can prevent them from worsening or rupturing.
