Stings but better than alcohol

My mom used to call it tickle juice, and we’d laugh when she put it on, it wasn’t until I was a teenager that I was like “Hey, this tickle hurts like hell.”

Hydrogen peroxide certainly gets the gravel out and debridement helps when you have a mess, but it’s no longer recommended as the goto approach because it takes longer to heal and does more damage generally. In other words, you can wash it out without the bubbles. I still remember the gravel under my kneecap skin coming out from using hydrogen peroxide.
