Can Exposure To Peroxide Cause Intermittent Pain In Arm?

Good morning, My 82 y/o father has had intermittant arm pain (tender to touch, throbbing) in each arm. Full cardiology work-up (replacement aortic valve), and it seems to coincide with exposure to peroxide. Dentist told him to rince with it, arm pain for quite awhile, stopped peroxide pain went away. He accidently used a peroxide based toothpaste and pain came back. Stopped using and pain again went away. Can t seem to find much on peroxide allergy, have you heard of such a thing. Thanks, Mike Beck

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

His symptoms could be related to an allergic reaction to peroxide. All his symptoms and the fact that his symptoms are triggered by the contact with peroxide indicate possible allergic reaction.

I would recommend avoid the contact with this substance in the future.

Some allergy tests may help determine this possibility. You should consult with an allergologist for this purpose.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
