Clorox on skin

I mixed a solution of half clorox and half water, and sprayed it inside my shoes to kill fugi...
Been doing it for 2 weeks
Does that cause cancer?

Hello,
If you are using Clorox for disinfecting your shoes, please ensure that you wear socks because direct contact with the disinfectant may cause irritant contact dermatitis which involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.

If your notice any redness, itching and blisters then please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.

I hope that helps. Take care and regards.
