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.
Hi doctor here. I read this post a few times and I am not sure what you’re referring to by top and bottom part of your hand. I am guessing you mean your palm and the back of your hand.
Short answer: idk how fast bacteria move, but you are supposed to wash both the palm and the back of your hand. Most people are lazy and don’t take the time to do a proper thorough washing.
