That stuff really helps bring an abscess to a head. It kills the bacteria in the pocket like no tomorrow. Glad it finally broke loose for you. Now Everyone will feel better.
If you do use 35% peroxide, wear gloves and a long-sleeve shirt. If that stuff splashes you, it can eat away at your skin. Once it's in the bucket, it will be diluted and not a problem.
