Hydrogen peroxide on pimples?

Hydrogen peroxide on pimples?

I have recently been using hydrogen peroxide 3% as a spot treatment on my T-zone acne...
I started using it about a week ago, and it's been working pretty well so far. I was just wondering if there are any long-term effects of hydrogen peroxide? I've read all kinds of things on the internet, and an experienced/professional opinion would be awesome.
I usually just apply it to flared up areas overnight, then rewash in the morning. I read somewhere that it damages healing tissue, but there are many other people that say the opposite. What exactly does it do to your skin?
