A member asked:
Is it bad to leave soap and face wash on your skin for too long? i scrub my hands about 2-5 minutes and after they sting
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin condition: Soaps and face wash contain ingredients that remove dirt and dead skin. Depending on the agent used, it may cause mild irritation especially to areas of thin skin such as the face and back of the hands. I recommend mild soap and to pat, not rub the skin. If your symptoms persist, you may want to consult a dermatologist.
