Don't use too strong of peroxide. It will damage it worse.
try 90% alcohol sunlight and fan.

Sometimes the reapplication of peroxide every day can essentially cause a reinjury, or keep the vine from healing. You might consider sulfur powder instead, and as you mentioned keep the fan going with direct air flow. Keeping it dry is key.

Yeah, this is my first year using peroxide (zerotol) after the GPC recommended not to use sulphur powder. However this is about a foot away from the pumpkin so I think it would be fine to use. It's not much of an injury, just a little leaky.

Daconil maybe, in this case? There's a lot of things a grower could use. I have even used iodine but not heard of anyone else doing this.
