I've tried that myself as well. My understanding at least is that the oxygen released by the H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) (hydrogen peroxide) helps to stimulate the healing of the skin. There has been a lot of research lately about using oxygen theropy to help wounds heal, and burns too. The other thing that has been working for me is alkalizing my body, giving it all the minerals it needs to flush out the acids rather than passing them through the skin. I use a green drink called super greens. If you wanna know more, or how to get it just email me. But I'm trying not to advertize. I know how annoying it can be. But it is working for me, and so I made a website where you can get it. Take care, and congrats on the peroxide recovery. Later, Mike
