What is a Good Alternative to Using Hydrogen Peroxide on an Open Wound Like Mohs Surgery?

RSMember1906
I was told by the surgeon to clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide, but when I went to the plastic surgeon, he said not to. He said to let the water from shampooing my hair to run over it. That doesn't work for me. I need an alternative.
