Chemical burn

(Redirected from Acid burn)

A chemical burn occurs when living tissue is exposed to an extremely reactive chemical substance such as a strong acid or base. Chemical burns need no source of heat, can occur immediately on contact, and are extremely painful. The exact symptoms of a chemical burn depend on the chemical involved.
