TeessideLive reports. Parents in Teesside are now urging schools to ease up with the hand-washing regime.One mum whose daughters came home with irritated skin said it's not so much the soaps or gels used by the school.Instead, it’s caused by the sheer volume of handwashing they are required to do.She has told her children they must go against the school's orders and not wash as often, after trying "every cream" and finding they all sting.The mum said: “I'm all for good hand hygiene and keeping others safe, but I just can't bear my boys crying in pain every night."School has been really understanding, to be fair."But they seem to be just accepting of us all trying to treat the problem, instead of them trying to prevent it in the first.
