Copious lavage with water is the cornerstone of treatment for most types of chemical burns. Particularly dangerous are burns from hydrofluoric acid, which may act as both an alkali and an acid in its effects on the tissues. There are specific antidotes for certain types of chemical burns. For phenol burns, polyethylene glycol solutions are better solvents than water.
大量清水冲洗是大多数类型化学烧伤治疗的基石。氢氟酸烧伤尤其危险，其对组织的作用兼具碱性和酸性。某些类型的化学烧伤有特定的解毒剂。对于苯酚烧伤，聚乙二醇溶液比水更适合作为溶剂。
