Management of Chemical Burns

 Management of Chemical Burns

  1. Wash off the chemical with a large quantity of water by using a shower or hose if available as quickly as possible. This flooding with water will wash away much of the irritants.
  2. Cut out contaminated clothing.
  3. Do not touch the burnt area.
  4. Treat as for burns.
