I think I got some contact dermitis from laundry detergent and also been washing+sanitizing hands like a mofo, how long should the redness last?
Not sure whether its contact d or dryness or both but yeah.
Im using lanolin to moisturize or lock in moisture after I wet them so thats where Im at
There was a laundry detergent crack in the bottle that was leaking all over the shelf where it lives so I had to clean that up but also been doing tons of laundry for reasons but that should be over with today

Constantly scrubbing and sanitizing can cause redness and irritation by itself.
Yeah, the perfect trifect or hat trick aint it?? Will be better after today, just doing Fall cleaning in prep for a very snug hibernatey Winter!
Usually a couple days. Personally when it starts I try to remove everything from the area, maybe a lotion would help, but I find it's better for me to let it breathe naturally, rinsing occasionally to make sure it's clean. Personally I break out when I wear things continuously that were washed with cheaper/dyed detergents. Switch to free and clear detergents (I like the sheets, why pay for pods or liquids when you have water at home), and haven't broken out since.
Watch out, I also get it from some scented hand soaps and other items. If you notice it just stop use, and note that you should probably avoid those going forward
