Pure hydrogen peroxide certainly can cause chemical burns if it touches your skin. Hydrogen peroxide you buy from a drugstore is typically about 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. As far as your skin is concerned, as long as you're not actually bathing in it it's not all that different from 100% water. You should be careful with even the dilute stuff around your eyes and mouth though; the mucous membranes are much more sensitive.
