Peroxide should not be used. I used to do that all the time with simple cuts and what not. My doctor, along with mu daughters doctor, have both told me that the peroxide will only further irritate the wound. It may clean it temporarily, but it will cause the skin to become inflamed and irritated. Which only makes it take longer to heal.

Both peroxide and iodine can be used to clean wounds, but their effectiveness depends on the type of wound.

Is it good if peroxide bubbles on a wound?
Yes, it's good if peroxide bubbles on a wound as it indicates that the peroxide is working to kill bacteria and clean the wound. However, it's important to use peroxide sparingly and not to overuse it as it can also damage healthy tissue.
When peroxide bubbles does it mean infection of a wound?
No, it means the peroxide is decomposing. You see this when you pour hydrogen peroxide into a wound because your body naturally produces a protein called peroxidase that catalyzes the decomposition of peroxides. This is why small amounts of hydrogen peroxide don't kill you: your body has a natural mechanism for dealing with it. Bacteria, for the most part, do not produce peroxidase, so they're highly susceptible to the effects of peroxides.
