The foam has nothing to do with infection. Your blood contains a chemical called peroxidase which breaks down peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide. This is what causes the foam.

The reason hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant is that peroxides in general are very bad for living things. The thing that makes it even better is that you can tolerate it a lot better than bacteria can, because your cells can make peroxidase and unicellular organisms for the most part can't.

The best stain removal method depends on what type of stain. Since terry cloth is used in bathrooms, the stain is likely a protein stain, so do not wash it in hot water until the stain is gone. Pretreat the stain, rinse it out, and soak the fabric in bleach. Then rinse it again and wash it as you normally would.

What causes canker soares?

There is no reason why they occur, but they are best treated with a "dab" on a cotton swab, by your physician with sulfur/hydrogen peroxide. It's painful, for a few moments, and the canker soars will "blister" a little --- but they'll be gone. I know --- I've had it done when I was younger and haven't canker soars since. Consult your physician.


Does an antibiotic keep fighting your infection after you finish taking it?

Not for very long. That is why it is important to take your antibiotic as prescribed, even if you think that the infection has gone away. Continuing to take the antibiotic for the full time prescribed keeps the infection from flaring up again; you think it's completely gone, but not quite.


Can you use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash?

AnswerYes you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide on your face. If you have ever suffered from acne and you have those blemishes left behind on your face, know that with the help of peroxide they are not permanent. Do as I did and every night after you have cleaned your face with a facial cleaner like neutrogena or something of that sort, put some peroxide on a cotton ball and scrub your face with it. After some continuous use you will notice that your blemishes are starting to dissapear. Just because your blemishes may be gone don't discontinue the use of the peroxide because it also works as a great facial hair bleacher and facial cleanser!!!
