I suffered a chemical burn on my face from the salicylic acid in Clearisil Ultra a few days ago, and I've tried everything to relieve the pain. It feels like a horrible sunburn that's scabbed up, and it's pretty much... horrible. I tried Ponds cold cream, but it was itchy and burned. When I tried hydrocortizone, my skin couldn't take it, and it also burned. The medicine I tried from the doctor, I was allergic to. In the end, we called an emergency line that was on the bottle of Clearisil Ultra. We were told to use Vitamin E and Aloe. My question is, will this actually work, and how long should it take for a chemical burn to heal?
Thank you for your answers.

Ok, acid burns for the most part heal with time, but if you get 100% pure vitamin E from like body shop, it may help speed up healing by moisturizing the skin. Otherwise, applying ice directly to the burn area is the only thing that will really help.

you will desire to bathe your face with water to sparkling out the chemical, do no longer use the rest ..in basic terms water as different chemical components mixing with the benzoyl peroxide would reason extra agitation. All you're able to do ..is rinse off the chemical ...
