A member asked:
Can you tell me what could i put on a skin burn from sodium hydroxide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very thoroughly: wash the area to be sure all the lye is gone. Treat the chemical burn as you would one from a hot iron: Apply Neomycin ointment to prevent tnfection and keep the area loosely covered. Healing will be slow. Keep the wound clean.
