A member asked:

Skin on hand peeling from hand washing; how long to grow back? is it safe to handle sensitive objects or should i wait for skin to grow back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use gloves: You may be sensitive to the bleach or soap. Wear gloves. Also use lubriderm or aveeno (oatmeal) for your hands. You may also have eczema. See a doctor if this worsens.
