Lightbulb Hydrogen peroxide

has been used topically to kill organisms.

Since the fungus of athlete's foot, may remain dormant for a time,
and cause burning, without visible lesions, H202 may help.

I don't see how it can hurt topically. Orally or injected is extremely controversial and I can't recommend that.

The fatty layer in the skin is not likely to pass oxygen into tissue.
A lipofilic molecule can cross much more effectively.

I don't think it can be harmful used this way, but on mucous membranes H202 can burn and irritate.
