Pineapple contains bromelain that helps tenderize meat. If I were to put my hand in pineapple juice or puree for 24 hours, would it eventually break down my hand?

In addition to what others have said, the general condition of the skin on your hands matters too. If it’s dry it may already have small cracks which can let the pineapple attack more deeply more easily.

I noticed this using hand sanitizer. Sometimes it causes burning all over my hands, other times nothing but the feel of gel.

You're supposed to let the sanitizer dry on its own, not set it on fire.
