Abstract

Chemical Burns most commonly occurs in the industrial workers. Chemicals can injure the cells by exothermic
reaction on the surface of the skin, which can also cause the thermal burns. Both acidic and alkali chemical burns
are common in industrial workers. Chemical burns are treated by copious irrigation with water, hemodynamic
stabilisation and other various methods. The aim of this article is to study the usefulness of the tangential excision
and skin grafting in chemical burns.
