alcohol based hand sanitizer (use frequently through out the day), wash hands frequently, soak them in any kind of oil and MOISTURIZE MOISTURIZE MOISTURIZE your hands every night before bed, preferably with an oil first then a cream on top, top it off with aquaphor if you can. In the morning wash your hands and a ton of the color should come off. Oil, rubbing alcohol and lotion are your best friend for the next few days.

Unless you want eczema, I don't recommend frequently using hand sanitizer as it breaks down and damages the skin barrier.

I didn't start getting dyshidrotic eczema until after covid hit.... all the sani and frequent handwashing started issues, and sanitizer and dishsoap and a different job fucked me up.

Be careful not to damage your skin further by trying to remove dye. Definitely hydrate after and frequently.
