I guess.
I grew up on a farm. every cut, stab, or scrape was done on some rusty, shit caked, dirty metal thing or some sharp blade covered in blood. so peroxide was always used because the risk of some bacteria left behind for infection was greater than the risk of scar tissue.
my wounds heal pretty quickly, so it's not something I've had to deal with.
Just because we do something for a long time doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. In most cases, forceful irrigation with sterile saline is the best way to handle a dirty wound.
