Yes, you can end up having pink patches on the skin, which means you have rubbed it away. If that is the case, you have a higher chance of getting infected by everyday actions, such as shaking someones hand or wearing a muscle shirt and falling onto the ground.

You should not wash it to much, only when truly needed such as a daily bath or taking one after working out and sweating a lot. If it deals with your hands, then only wash after you've touched something dirty. This does not mean every time you bump into a trashcan and touch barely the rim of it or something. If that's the case apply a small amount of hand sanitizer. If you can't help but run to the bathroom to wash your hands it then it means that you have a fear of germs or high anxiety.

A:Yes, you can actually rub away too many skin cells and your skin could get infected.
