dont worry its good. it cleans the cut. once u pour it on, your cut will foam and sting. this is normal. its just getting rid of all of the bacteria.

It is good for all kinds of things .Sometimes I use it as a mouthwash if I have a ulcer or if the roof of my mouth gets cut by potatoe chips.

good and doesnt sting a bit

it is good for a cut BUT can cause scarring so dont use it on your face, etc.

I have heard many people say that it kills the healing cells so I have stopped using it unless there is so much dirt I have to.

the best thing to use is salt water, thats what they use in hospitals to clean all sorts of cuts, been practicing nursing and this is all we use, its also known as normal saline
