A couple of weeks ago, I had a paper cut on my thumb. It progressed to a larger unpleasant wound where some parts healed, but other parts began to get worse. I used an anitbiotic cream (not petroleum ointment) and a band-aid a lot during those times.
A pharmacist recommended that I cleanse the wound now with hydrogen peroxide, apply antibiotic -ointment- and not cover the wound. (to let it dry out) Will this help my wound heal better? Are there any other methods anyone could recommend to facilitate better healing/treatment?
I stopped using creams like vitamin e or aloe vera because it made my skin hurt.
Hydrogen peroxide isn't a very good first aid choice. Ambulances and hospitals don't use it anymore.
The foaming action is due to a reaction with an enzyme cells contain called catalase. When you have a cut or scrape, there is a lot of catalase to react to.
[For those who care, the reaction between catalase and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) turns the peroxide into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). The bubbles are from the formation of O2.]
That reaction destroys cell walls -- in bacteria AND white blood cells; it doesn't discriminate. Which means if you have an open sore, you're preventing it from healing and may increase scarring.
I'd recommend cleaning with a good antibacterial soap and putting a triple-antibiotic ointment on it.
The jury is out on covering the wound. Exposure to air speeds healing, but bandages help keep the wound clean and harmful bacteria out.
Watch for signs of infection and see a healthcare provider if if you notice swelling, redness, or drainage.
