I was unaware that putting hydrogen peroxide or iodine on a cut can actually slow the healing process. According to Prevention Magazine (free trial handout), they say that hydrogen peroxide does kill bacteria but it also kills the surrounding skin cells.
Prevention recommends that you wash a cut with warm water and apply a thin layer of bactracin which is in many over-the-counter abrasion medicines. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/wounds.html . Then follow up with a band aid to keep the abrasion clean.
