I know it’s not good to keep washing the back of your hand since it might damage your skin faster (correct me if I’m wrong please) so I usually see people washing more only the palm, is it both because bacteria and germs didn’t get to the back or is irrelevant the ones that do or just for not damaging the skin too fast? The palm of the hand doesn’t seem to get damaged or appear damaged so fast like the back of your hand if you wash it off a lot.
Am RN. Put a pea sized amount of dimethicone barrier cream on the back of your hands then rub the backs together. Completely fixes the dryness / protects from damage. It even builds up a barrier each time that will withstand a few washings without reapplication (important to only put in freshly cleaned skin so it doesn’t trap anything). Liquid gloves is one brand; when I’m at work I use whatever’s in stock (usually Medline). It’s more expensive than regular lotion but at the amount I use one bottle lasts several months. Dryness might cause skin cancer 50 years from now. It’s more likely that MRSA will get your arm rotted off in the next few months or you’ll catch a GI bug and shit yourself to death. Wash your hands.
