I overwash my hands since covid started and they hurt and are red. i tried every moisturizer and none work. i got vanicream for sensitive skin. can i use it every time i wash my hands. are my hands clean with a moisturizer on i wash hands before?

Hand hiegene is important but it has been over emphasized since COVID pandemic came on the scene. Initially it was relevant as we did not know how the virus gets into the body(Mouth versus Nose). Now we know that SARS-COV2 enters through the nose where it attaches to its receptors, the oral route of enter is less likely. Hence washing hands can be reduced to 2-3 times a day(mostly before eating).
