Gentlemen, since we are often exposed to sulfuric acid, it’s inevitable that we might suffer burns from it. Please share what methods work best for treating such burns. I’ve seen a homemade ointment before, and applying it indeed prevented scarring.
Sulfuric acid burns are a severe type of chemical burn, and their treatment requires caution and to be carried out as soon as possible. Here are some suggestions: 1. Rinse immediately: The burned area should be rinsed thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15-20 minutes, which helps to dilute and wash away sulfuric acid and reduce the severity of the burn. 2. Remove clothing: Peel off the clothes soaked in sulfuric acid from the wound to prevent further damage to it. 3. Prevent infection: Cover the burned area with clean gauze or a clean cloth to avoid bacterial infection. Be careful not to use cotton, as it leaves fibers in the wound. 4. Seek medical attention: Seek help from a doctor as soon as possible, especially in cases of severe burns. The doctor will assess the injury based on the circumstances, and may prescribe appropriate medication, treat the wound, and take measures to prevent infection. 5. Do not handle it on your own: Avoid using unproven treatments such as homemade ointments, without medical advice, to prevent further harm. 6. Pay attention to wound care: Follow the doctor’s instructions, change dressings on time, keep the wound clean, and avoid excessive moisture. In short, when dealing with sulfuric acid burns, the most important things are to rinse immediately and seek help from a professional doctor. Please remember that, for your own safety, try to avoid contact with sulfuric acid and make sure to use proper personal protective equipment when handling it. .
Many young people these days are unaware of the methods used by the older generation; in fact, it’s very simple – after thorough and timely rinsing with water and drying, one just applies animal dog fat.
If sulfuric acid gets on your skin, the first thing to do is to rinse it with flowing clean water for at least 20 minutes, gently patting the area while rinsing, and then seek medical attention.
Initially, we would rinse the area with plenty of clean water, apply burn ointment as appropriate, or seek medical attention.
At the dry absorption site of the acid production facility, you may bring 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 bottle of mineral water with you. First, use toilet paper to absorb the excess liquid, then rinse with mineral water.
Find flowing clean water immediately and rinse the area thoroughly for at least 20 minutes. If the symptoms are mild, apply a specialized treatment on your own; in cases where the condition is severe, seek medical attention right away
I also think this is the best approach; handling it this way is the fastest and most timely.

First, remove concentrated sulfuric acid from the area where it came into contact as quickly as possible, then wash it with plenty of running water; after washing with water, clean it with baking soda solution. If your eye is injured, go to the emergency room at the hospital right away. If it is a sulfuric acid plant, the factory’s medical clinic may have doctors with experience in emergency treatment, which is ideal. As for cases of burn erosion that have already occurred, whether scars will remain after recovery depends on the depth of the burn. If the deeper dermal tissue is affected, scars are essentially impossible to eliminate; although there are some measures that can help reduce them, recovery takes a long time, and ointments are likely to be of little use
