I was cleaning with clorox, now my fingers are sore and red. ?

Question

They look like they are burned. How do you treat it?

Answer 1

Make sure to keep the area that looks inflamed dry. Make sure to wash them every day with warm water and antibacterial soap. Ice also helps ease pain. If the area becomes increased in redness, discharges puss or the pain becomes unbearable, seek medical treatment.

Answer 2

you don't. just wash them with a gentle soap and put a good lotion on them. they will probably peel in the next few days. they look burnt because they are. use cocoa butter or something like that. no smelly fancy lotion because that will irritate them worse.

Answer 3

Yup, chemical irritation of the skin.

Wash with mild soap to get all of the residual hypochlorite off your skin, then apply lotion.

Get yourself some rubber gloves.

Answer 4

Bleach is very alkaline. Use lemon juice or vinegar to neutralize the pH. Chemical burns are NASTY. Keep it lubricated with Vitamin E and Tea Tree oil to keep the infections away. Tea Tree oil also has a cooling effect to soothe the burn and also has an acidic pH.
