Hi.
As per your query of white marks on index finger.
My treatment advice is -
1. It is normal to have such white spots on using hydrogen peroxide.
2. If possible, wear gloves before using it.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily after using hydrogen peroxide.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
