I received a hydrogen peroxide burn from a swimming pool chemical. While handling a container of "oxidizer" (12% hydrogen peroxide), the reminant substance on the outside of the box began to make my hands tingle. With that feeling, I immediately washed my hands with soap and water. That did absolutely nothing. The chemical burn continued and in minutes my hands began turning blotchy white in color.
Luckily, I had a relative working in a dermatoligist office. We immediately contacted her and she recommended soaking my hands in a bowl of warm water and baking soda. This neutralized the chemical and within a minute or two I felt relief. In ten minutes most of the white discoloration had disappeared.
I'm not to sure about the baking soda, probably wouldn't do much. The warm water is what did the trick. I work with industrial grade 35% hydrogen peroxide and actually got some on my hands and fingers just this morning. Where the H202 got on me turned bright white, and burned rather intensely the longer it was absorbed. I consulted the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for it and they recommended washing your hands in soap and water for 15 minutes. All H202 is, is really just water with an extra oxygen molecule. The whiteness of the skin will usually last for a couple of hours, but as long as you flush your skin with warm water the burning will usually go away after a little while.
There is no need to neutralize it. H2O2 fissions into H20 and O2. None of them are poisonous.
I do not know how it works, other than a guess of releasing O2, but I have used Hydrogen Peroxide.

Hydrogen is an element.Hydrogen peroxide is a compound.
hydrogen+peroxide
No!

Yes, it will sting/burn your eyes and will perhaps blind you.
NO. Absolutely not. Do sea salt soaks. If you use hydrogen peroxide, that could just make the piercing take longer to heal altogether. Peroxide is what can burn off healthy tissue.
Yes it happened to me with hydrogen peroxide solution
hmm...if you burn your foot then my suggestion is clean the burn with hydrogen peroxide, but rinse with cool or warm water, and then u apply the peroxide. If it is small then maybe you just oput dabs of toothpaste on it...it is what i do. and then put a bandage if desired.
Hydrogen peroxide is a teeth whitener, google "hydrogen peroxide teeth."

hydrogen+peroxide
I think Hydrogen Peroxide is a reactant,because hydrogen and oxygen are reactants so hydrogen peroxide should be a reactant.
