- Abstract
- As chemicals become common in everyday life, serious burns are increasing due to chemicals. Chemical burns are characterized by continuous tissue destruction until the harmful substances are neutralized. The longer the skin is in contact with the chemical, the deeper the burn can be. In cases of chemical burns caused by glacial acetic acid, the burns were caused by a mixture of a small amount of glacial acetic acid and a large amount of flour. Despite the prolonged contact with the dough, tissue damage was managed through debridement and split thickness skin graft, leading to relatively good results.
