A Review of Management Methods and Modern Treatments for Chemical Wounds

Abstract

Generally, burns can occur for a variety of reasons, including heat, electricity, cold, and chemical exposure. Chemical burns are very important because of their irreversible and unpredictable physical and mental effects, both at work and at home, even intentionally. Approximately 2 to 11% of burns are chemical burns. In Iran, due to the increasing prevalence of acid attacks in recent years, besides the high growth of industries working with acids, such as dyeing, goldsmithing, and battery manufacturing, the importance of finding a rapid, efficient, and inexpensive treatment method has been highlighted.
