Did I damage skin by using hydrogen peroxide for too long after upper bleph? 2.5 weeks post-op.

Asked By:Clare3343 in Los Angeles, California

I had an upper Bleph 2.5 weeks ago. I used hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip to clean wounds for 17 days (2x day). I now realize that I didn’t need to do that. Did I do permanent damage or delay wound healing by doing this? Thanks!
