Abstract
Chemical burns are interesting and challenging to treat. When the practitioner is comfortable with the pathophysiology of chemical injury and treatment based on these principles, most patients can be treated effectively with good outcome (Fig. 2). Early treatment with water irrigation, followed by diligent wound care, will allow our patients to benefit to the maximum from our medical skills.
