I have a second degree, possibly third. This happened on July fourth while lighting 3 sparklers at once! Really bad idea! After several days the fluid from the blister on my finger leaked out. I removed the skin left from the blister (which I was told you should NOT do! ) I was told by my mom(she is an RN) to clean with soap and water, apply burn cream( I've been using neosporin) then cover with a sterile bandage. Well I decided I should try cleaning it with peroxide. That was a horrible idea! It burned really bad! It caused a small blister on the raw area of the skin. I rinsed it off immediately and held a towel against my finger till it stopped burning! I had always thought peroxide was good for burns/cuts. I suggest nobody use peroxide on a second or third degree burn. By the way, Do NOT let the burn area dry out. This can cause it to crack and lead to infection!

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.
Does hydrogen peroxide stain skin?
No it does not. Unless by "stain" you mean "bleach", because it might do that (or even cause a chemical burn, if it's concentrated enough ... the hydrogen peroxide you buy at the drug store is only 3%, so it's not concentrated enough though you should still keep it away from your eyes).
