Question

Burn while wet grinding a cement counter top. The wet slurry splashed on my stomach ran into my underwear. This exposure was 2 hours until I felt pain and it was immediate and bad

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Cement burns can be serious, and it's important to act quickly. Here are some steps you should take:

Rinse Thoroughly: Immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of cool water. Continue rinsing for at least 20 minutes to ensure that all cement particles are removed.

Neutralize the Area: After rinsing, you can use a mild acidic solution, like diluted vinegar (1 part vinegar to 1 part water), to help neutralize the alkaline cement residue. Rinse again with water afterward.

Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle, pH-balanced soap to cleanse the area thoroughly and rinse with water.

Moisturize and Protect: Apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe vera gel to help soothe the skin. Avoid products with alcohol or perfumes.

Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help manage pain and inflammation.

Seek Medical Attention: Given the severity and location of your burn, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare professional can assess the damage and provide appropriate treatment, which may include prescription medications or further interventions.

Do not delay in consulting with a healthcare provider to ensure proper care and healing.
