On the Chemical Burn of Glycolic Acid
Recently, there have been cases of chemical burns caused by glycolic acid, which cannot be ignored. Glycolic acid is common among all chemical materials. However, its nature has a certain intensity. If it is used carelessly, it will cause disaster.

Where glycolic acid is used, its properties should be known first. It has erosive power, and it touches the skin like a fire, and it will hurt in an instant. In light cases, the skin is red, swollen and painful, and the burning feeling is like a shadow; in severe cases, the skin is torn and the flesh is rotten, sores are suddenly born, and even the texture is endangered, and the legacy is endless.

Investigate the cause of the burn, or due to poor protection at the time of handling. Without proper protective equipment, such as rubber gloves, goggles, etc., glycol acid comes into direct contact with the skin and eyes. Or when preparing and handling, behave recklessly, glycol acid spills out, and it cannot be avoided, so it suffers from it.

And once glycol acid causes burns, it should be treated as soon as possible. Immediately rinse the wound with a lot of water, so that the acid is exhausted and its corrosion force is reduced. When rinsing, the water flow should be slow and even, and should not be too fierce, for fear of hurting the damaged skin. After rinsing, seek medical treatment in the Ming Dynasty without delay. According to the severity of the injury, the doctor will prescribe appropriate treatment, or apply good medicine, or perform debridement, so that the injured will recover as soon as possible.

From this point of view, it is necessary to be cautious when using dangerous substances such as glycolic acid. The operator should be familiar with its nature, strictly follow the procedures, and take comprehensive protection. In this way, the benefits of the chemical industry can be obtained, and the harm of chemical burns can be avoided, the health of the body can be preserved, and the industry can be protected smoothly.
