    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.

    Hi

    Bleach is really strong chemicals in it that burns, I dont know about touching it with your face. Like others have suggested read the bottle what to do I cant remember from top of head what it says.

    You should seek medical advice if you aren't sure what to do.
