Hi i think the tingling and numbness and swelling over the ulcer area can be due to irritant dermatitis due to hydrogen peroxide.it can be cured by atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic orally twice daily and combiflame tablet twice daily and application of diprovate g ointment can cure the condition.stop using hydrogen peroxide next time
