So at work we bleach towels to get them clean and I spilled the bleach water, and I had to wring out the bleach water from a ton of towels that I used to clean it up.
My hands are red and the skin burns a little and is really dry and flaky already. I don't know why I didn't put gloves on :/
What can I do to get them back to normal?

You may have to go see a dr or to the ER.

Seriously the ER? I mean it doesn't look that bad right now, just a little red but I don't feel like it's ER level serious. Do you think it'll get worse?

TBH I would just let it heal on its own.. skin repairs it's self, maybe get an ointment so it won't get infected because of the burns,something with Aloe will definitely help, your skin has to flake so the new layer of skin can be replaced if that makes any sense.

No problem :) and don't put anything on it,its extremely sensitive right now,and with the aloe try to find one that doesn't have a lot of chemicals on them,also I think I'm not sure but A&D ointment might also be able to help

Yeah definitely aloe or even like polysporin and stuff. Put that on followed by gpoves so that it really sinks in. Try not to touch water too much it might hurt. Don't put hand cream!! The fragrance will kill your hands.

I agree with Tally. I'd go to an ER or a doctor.

Pure 100% aloe Vera gel. put it in the fridge to make it cold. also put polysporin on it to avoid infection.
