I used to use a little bleach when 'washing as I go' but can't now.
I had a problem (excema) come out due to overuse of hand sanitizer.
The Dermatologist told me it's genetic related allergies and may
stay dormant until something sets it off.  Apparently she kept
quite busy with the issue during covid.

I now have to be very careful with any scented products and all
sorts of odd things.  Raw chicken!  I have to wear gloves or it
burns.  LOL, just a wierd thing to have happen.  Under control now
but still there and once woken, the allergy never really goes away.

I also have eczema, and I can't tolerate any kind of hand sanitizer.
Sometimes I really had to fight people off pushing sanitizer during
COVID.  No, I'm not going to trash my already painful skin by
applying alcohol to it multiple times daily.

Yes, I got those same rude folks.  Here my hands and fingers are
peeling and bleeding and some idiot came up like my nanny to tell me to
put that stuff one and tried to slather it on me at the doctors office.

Ahh... those lovely corona times! I remember I was attacked outside for not wearing a mask. A guy tried to hit me with a shopping bag full with some heavy stuff.
I told him some naughty words and said I had a medical condition (which I had) and after a 20 second silence he said "ok" and left.

I limit the use of beach to laundry, and try to keep my hands in it
as briefly as possible.  When a eczema flare up comes on, almost no
topical ointment helps.

I found cerave to be the best but don't use the aunti-itch as it sets
off bad itching.  I used the cream and the vasoline types.  Right now
in remission thank goodness.

All has a brand thats super 'free-n-clear' or something like that name,
which is used for laundry here or my socks set it off on the bottom of
my feet.

Ah well, I use gloves to protect my hands when cooking some things,
leave dishes now to Don.  Making turkey soup, had them on to get the
skin off and another pair to debone it.

This is an excellent combination! The wife cooks, and I do the dishes. Both happy!
