Chemical Burns

Chemical burns are skin injuries caused by exposure to harmful substances, including acids, alkalis, and certain household chemicals. In dermatology, the severity of a chemical burn is classified into three degrees: first-degree burns affect only the outer layer of skin, second-degree burns impact deeper layers, and third-degree burns can destroy all skin layers and may require medical intervention.

Cosmetologists must be vigilant during treatments that involve chemicals, such as hair dyeing or skin exfoliation, to prevent accidents. Proper training in product handling, patch testing, and emergency response is crucial. Treatment for chemical burns typically includes rinsing the area with water, applying soothing ointments, and seeking professional help for severe cases. Understanding the risks associated with chemical exposure is essential for both dermatologists and cosmetologists to ensure patient safety and effective treatment.
