A member asked:
Wounds caused by acid can develop into skin cancer in the future? is there a risk in the post healed areas that are usually red or purple ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer, unlikely. Depends on type of acid, length of exposure, repeat exposure, etc. Healed area probably lacks subcutaneous tissue or atrophy allowing the underlying blood vessels to be more prominent, i.e loss of padding
