A member asked:
I have an open cut on my hand and i washed my hand alot with soap in these 6days (more than 6times in a day) is this will cause serious diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Washing it 6 times a day is a lot. If your hand does not appear to be infected, no redness, pain, fever, pus or drainage it will likely be fine at this point 6 days later.
