Hydrogen peroxide is a household staple that is often a go-to when a cut or scrape occurs. While the over-the-counter solution only contains about 3% of the acid, it can still cause skin irritation when used in excess.

This means that you should be frugal when using it to treat the skin since too much can damage healthy cells. Some have even gone so far as to use it as an acne treatment, but Healthline reports that the potential side effects of doing so can make your skin condition worse.
