It can easily be bought at a chemist.

I think I saw a post on here before about soaking your feet in hydrogen peroxide but I can't think I would soak anything but my hair roots in peroxide

I think is depends on the % :-/. In Canada you can buy this off the shelf in drugstores (chemists). They use it for mouthwash and ear infections.

It might be a stronger solution that's used on hair :-/

I think we are talking only 3% orally. When I bleached my hair i had to use 12%.

My daughter normally dabs a bit on her spots and they are practically dried up by morning.

does it damage the skin at all? do you need to put anything on the skin to neutralise it afterwards or anything?

Not that i know of. Our relatives in Canada keep it in their bathroom cabinet for whole range of anti-septic uses.

Strangely enough - they like our TCP which they can't get and request a bottle if anyone is over visiting them

No you dont rinse it off afterwards. If you do, you undo the work that the hydrogen peroxide is doing by leaving it on.

Saying that, I wouldnt use it on a nightly basis, only when my skin is under the weather.

Another use for it is, I apply it to any facial hairs I may have. It bleaches them so that they are not so noticable.

I'd end up looking like father christmas if I used it to bleach facial hair. ;D
