And how does it clean open wounds? Hope effective is it compared to rubbing alcohol and why would I use one over the other?

To add to my edge case, I scuba dive often. In high school, I was a competitive swimmer and often suffered ear infections. As a 40+year old adult and diver, literally after every dive, if I don’t treat my ears with either rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, I get ear aches. If I forget and start to feel the onset of an ear infection, using either quickly resolves the issue, why?
