Hydrogen Peroxide functions as an antiseptic by virtue of its bacteria and fungus-killing nature. Hydrogen peroxide acts against various bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and spores. Hydrogen Peroxide works by liberating oxygen when applied to the affected area. The released oxygen froths and foams, help in cleaning the area of application. Hydrogen Peroxide also functions by producing destructive free radicals of oxygen that attack the pathogen’s cell membrane and DNA, and thus destroy the pathogen and arrest the progression of the disease. Hydrogen Peroxide also shows emulsifying qualities that helps its surface action, thereby relieving itching, redness, inflammation and irritation of the skin.
