Acid burn

Acid burns are characterized by acidic chemicals that cause cell dehydration and protein coagulation and degeneration after contact with the skin, accompanied by thermal burns. There are few blisters in acid burns. The wounds are dry, the edges are clear, and the swelling is light. Due to protein coagulation, in addition to hydrofluoric acid, lesions often do not invade deep layers.
