I was wondering if anyone had any answers if rubbing alcohol or peroxide is better to use in treating minor cuts/scrapes; or if one is better than the other for specific injuries.
I was also wondering if there are any other household materials that could be used in treating minor cuts/scrapes as well. Like maybe vinegar or something of that sort.

If you know websites or could list your sources that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey
im a direct care giver and certified in cpr and first aid. peroxide mixed with water 1/2 and 1/2 seems to work the best. yes alcahol may kill things better but it stings worse.
