While it is true that hydrogen peroxide is and acid, it is only a very weak acid.

It can cause burns because it is an oxidizer. Other oxidizers, such as silver nitrate can have similar effects.

If you burned yourself with it you most likely used too high of a concentration, were in contact with it too long, or both.

Will hydrogen peroxide burn your face?

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.

What is produced when hydrogen peroxide and yeast are mixed?

Yeast does not react with hydrogen peroxide but it is a catalyst. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) decomposes into H2O and O2. This is always happening but at a very low rate so you don't notice it. If you add yeast to hydrogen peroxide it will speed up the decomposition of H2O2. However the yeast does not react with the H2O2 and nothing is chemically altered in the yeast. That is because yeast is a catalyst.


How can I effectively apply a warm patch for pain relief?
