A member asked:
Help! i was wondering can cortaid (hydrocortisone) help for dealing with chemical burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not initially: Chemical burns are best treated by vigorous irrigation of the are with water. If severe, medical attention should be sought. Acids and alkalies cause different kinds of chemical burn injury. If the burn area is healing, topical steroids, used sparingly, can help with the itching that occurs with healing.
