A member asked:

What is an over-the-counter antiseptic cream for a chemical burn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chemical burn: For healing, the antiseptic cream is not the most important element. More important are thorough initial rinsing and cleansing of the wound; then application of a dressing like vaseline gauze covered by sterile gauzes, and then a thick wrap (like ace or coban) to protect from ordinary dirt will produce good healing. If you want to use an antibacterial, i would use Bacitracin (fewer allergies).
