    Ah Emoji, how frightening!

    Have you read the back of the bleach bottle to see what it says to do if you get it on your skin? Usually it’ll say something like wash it off with warm soapy water.

    If I were you I’d tell mam what’s happened, hop in the shower and if it’s still itching I’d get in touch with the doctor :)

    Hope all goes well

    Okay first up try not to panic it only makes things worse trust me!
    Let's go through some rationalizing! 

    Nobody cleans with pure bleach very often! She likely would have diluted it with some water making it safer for the skin.  

    She may have rinsed it off or left it to dry meaning it wouldn't have been as present.
    Now the itching could be mild irritation. If so try washing your face with a bit of water or a nice shower like liam said :)
     
    The itching could also be in your mind sometimes anxiety can cause physical symptoms too x

    My mum's a cleaner and works with bleach a lot she's always been fine so trust me that you will be okay ❤️

    Hi Alina. 

    I know it's hard but try not to panic. As others have said, check the label on the bottle and see what it says about contact, and tell you mum about it. Luckily nowadays, substances like bleach have been made safer to protect our skin and therefore it is safer and controlled. The itching is probably a side effect from the contact if that makes any sense. 

    I can understand how anxious it can make you feel. If you're still worried about it or anything else we're here to listen.

    Like others have said you should be fine :)
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
