Although this is a very common practice it is not good for your skin. H2O2 kills granulating tissue so if you do chose to use it follow up with a saline solution.
Studies have shown that it causes the pimples to enlarge. The bubbling sound you see and hear enlarges your pores. Also, H2O2 is a mild bleaching agent so essentially you may experience lighter areas where it was applied.
I know this is used a lot for numerous skin issues and a lot of people swear by it and don't report any issues with it.
I've heard of toothpaste as well, which is the same concept as using a masque.

What happens to hydrogen peroxide when it is put on a cut?
Peroxide is actually not what does the healing. When you put Hydrogen Peroxide (chemical formula: H2O2) on your wound, it is separated into water and oxygen by the enzyme catalase. The catalase ONLY targets the hydrogen peroxide, and some of the bacteria is forced out with the oxygen (visually seen as the fizzing). THE TRUTH: Peroxide actually doesn't do much for you at all. To get a decent effect, get 4-6 cotton swabs, and wet them with water THEN Peroxide. the water will act as a mode of "transportation" for the bacteria to get out of the cut. This will slightly increase the effectiveness of a SINGLE cotton swab... which is still not much! (Thus the hole "4-6 cottonswabs" comment)
