A member asked:

Can peeling skin on palms and hands caused by excessive expose/use hydrogen peroxide (bleach) be reversed/healed? my hand's skin has become thinned, tight, paper-like and crack bleed easily. will my hand skin become thick as before again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrogen peroxide is not bleach but prolonged exposure can bleach the skin. Excessive exposure is corrosive to skin. Breathing its vapors is also irritating to the respiratory tract. I suspect your exposure was to the lesser strength of hydrogen peroxide. Cracking and thinning of your hand skin should heal in time. You could consult a dermatologist or a wound specialist for evaluation and advice.
