| Patients that have chemical agents applied to bare skin will often complain of a severe burning sensation at the site of the exposure. Patients may also develop a localized inflammatory response known as irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). Symptoms depend on the type of exposure, length of exposure of the irritant on the skin and the skin condition itself. Patients may experience symptoms varying from mild skin dryness and erythema to skin necrosis / chemical burn. [16, 17] | | | |
