Chemical Burns Are Becoming More Common As The Types of Chemicals That We Use Continue To Increase and Safety Regulations Become More Lax

Chemical burns have become more common as the types of chemicals we use continue to increase.  They occur when a person's body is exposed to strong acids or alkalids.  Common household chemicals include paint thinner, bleach, boric acid, and plumbing decloggers.  Other acids and alkalids are commonly used in many work places and can cause serious chemical burns.  It is important to follow safety instructions and be aware of dangerous chemicals in work places, storage areas, and around the home.  

If someone has suffered a chemical burn, it is important to remove the cause of the burn.  If not the chemical can continue to burn and eat away tissue.  Typically, flushing the chemicals off the skin surface with cool, running water for 15 minutes or more will remove a dangerous chemical. However, if the burning chemical is a powder-like substance such as lime, it is a good idea to brush it off the skin before flushing with water.  It is also important to make sure you remove clothing or jewelry that has been contaminated by the chemical to prevent additional burning.  It can also be helpful to wrap the burned area loosely with a dry, sterile dressing or a clean cloth.  Most minor chemical burns usually heal without further treatment, but it is often a good idea to seek medical assistance especially if the burn is of significant size, extremely painful, or will not heal.

If the victim has signs of shock, such as fainting, pale complexion or breathing in a notably shallow manner or if the chemical burn penetrated through the first layer of skin, and the resulting second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, it is extremely important to seek emergency medical treatment. This is also true if the chemical burn occurred on the eye, hands, feet, face, groin or buttocks, or over a major joint.
