Angry parents have hit out at schools for leaving their children with \u201cred raw hands\u201d from washing them so much.<\/p>\n

They say their youngsters are returning home \u201ccrying in pain\u201d after scrubbing them up to 10 times a day to stay Covid-safe.<\/p>\n

And they claim it is \u201cjust too much\u201d, TeessideLive reports. <\/p>\n

Parents in Teesside are now urging schools to ease up with the hand-washing regime.<\/p>\n

One mum whose daughters came home with irritated skin said it's not so much the soaps or gels used by the school.<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s caused by the sheer volume of handwashing they are required to do.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The mum said: \u201cI'm all for good hand hygiene and keeping others safe, but I just can't bear my boys crying in pain every night.<\/p>\n

"School has been really understanding, to be fair.<\/p>\n

"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 place.<\/p>\n
