>If I ever have a paper cut or like dry skin on my hands from eczema, as soon as he sniffs the cut or damaged skin he tries to keep licking them like he's... cleaning them out or something? He's my first dog so I haven't really looked into why dogs do that.
If it were an injury on the dog, it's very helpful for preventing infection.
However, because it's on you, it's a good way for you to get an infection and need your limbs amputated.
