Can frequent handwashing lead to skin cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you have any lesion on your hand it would be prudent to have a doctor look at it. Hand washing is not a cause of skin cancer. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
