Hydrogen peroxide solution

Hydrogen peroxide 3% solution is often used to treat piercing wounds (hypergranulation). It helps to kill bacteria and disinfect the area. However, it should be used with caution as it can also irritate healthy skin cells.

Here is a simple guide on how to use hydrogen peroxide:

Preparation

• Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid possible infection.

Cleaning

• Gently clean the piercing with warm water to remove any dirt or debris.

Application

• Dip a cotton swab or a clean piece of gauze into the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Gently dab it onto the venison to disinfect it. Avoid pouring the peroxide directly onto the entire piercing area to prevent excessive irritation.

Aftercare

• After application, you can gently rinse the area with warm water to remove any remaining hydrogen peroxide. This prevents irritation caused by residues.

Important notes

• Avoid using hydrogen peroxide too frequently as it can dry out the tissue and cause irritation. It should only be used for acute treatment of game meat and not long-term.
• The decline of game meat can take some time. Patience and consistent care are crucial.
• If the venison remains painful or inflamed, or the situation does not improve, consult a professional piercer or doctor.

Hydrogen peroxide should always be used with caution so as not to cause further skin irritation.
