 It’s more common than you think. In school they scare you with those videos that use a special light to show you where germs are. There was one kid in my class whose hands were so bad that everyone made fun of him and called him ashy. I feel bad about that now lol but yeah I think it’s from the harsh chemicals in the soap and the hot water. I came across this lady while shopping once that tried to sell me this special lotion. She put the lotion on my skin so she can show me how much nicer it’ll look after. She kept rubbing it and these bubbles started coming out. She was like wtf I’ve never seen this before you, do you wash your hands a lot? Lmao I realized that absorbing soap isn’t better for me than having some germs on my skin.
