Hydrogen Peroxide does kill newer human skin cells, and can increase the chance of scarring because of it.
The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. When it decomposes, it separates into water and oxygen gas. The reaction takes this form: 2 H2O2 -------> 2H2O + O2 The release of the oxygen gas is what makes the fizzy bubbles. When you put hydrogen peroxide solution on a wound or in your ears, it saturates the area with oxygen. Bacteria cannot live in this environment, and this is what makes peroxide a good disinfectant. It doesn't really help too much with earwax, though.
There is bacteria on the surface of your skin but they are not the same as your skin cells.
Humans are related to bacteria in that they are both a part of the Earth. They interact with one another, and while some bacteria is actually helpful to humans, many kinds of bacteria can be harmful.
Catalase is an enzyme found in most organisms that are exposed to oxygen. It is important because it catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. It mainly protects the cell from oxidative damage.
Predominantly multicellular not in bacteria but in human body • Cell contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles not in bacteria but in human body • DNA occurs in a circular form in bacteria only
It can kill human cells.
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent. It can cause severe cell damage. However, in low concentrations, while it's devastating to bacteria it doesn't hurt human cells much, because human cells have an enzyme known as peroxidase which is able to safely decompose hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water.
most permanent hair dyes, the human body makes peroxide as byproduct for some cellular processes

a human cells have DNA and bacteria has plasmid
The enzyme catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide in the liver. Seasons do not generally affect the amount of hydrogen peroxide breakdown, because humans regulate their body temperature.

because they have more bacteria cells, since bacteria divide faster then somatic cells.

It helps to clean and disinfect an open wound. Works wonders and doesn't sting like isopropyl alcohol would. Do NOT use hydrogen peroxide on human flesh or pets! It kills healthy cells! Not a big issue for minor scraps as it will disinfect, but never use on lacerations or deep wounds.
Hydrogen peroxide is used much less often today, except in some OB departments in hospitals. The reason, besides stinging when used, is that it causes tissue destruction at the wound edges which can make healing slower. Hospitals use Betadine solution (an organically-bound iodine solution) to cleanse wounds. For home use I would simply keep some Neosporin ointment available. While hydrogen peroxide is relatively safe to use on a wound, it is much more suited for disinfecting inanimate surfaces. The reason for this is that the enzyme catalase is found in your blood. Catalase rapidly breaks down the hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (the bubbles) before the peroxide really has a chance to help.
Deuterium dioxide is D2O2 (deuterated hydrogen peroxide). Given that drinking Hydrogen peroxide in high conc. would kill you, I'm going to go ahead and say, No.
