Was using muriatic acid and got some on my knees. got home later & knee is skinned & painful. what's happening?

Depends: Probably this is a mild acid burn. These are usually not overly serious; wash it with soap and water, keep it clean, and if a portion turns redder or becomes more painful, or if the pain is considerable, plan an office visit to your physician.
