Inhalation of acid can cause severe inhalation injuries;however, a preservative that you described is not strong enough to cause you the harm that worries you.
Will my burn heal?
Apr 07, 2008 in the Burns Expert Forum
>>>My questions are this: -What type of burn does this seem like (2nd degree deep partial thickness)? -How long does this wound take to heal, if at all? -Does the white discoloration fade over time, matching more of my normal skin tone.? -How long can I expect for this type of wound to normalize into a permanent state? -What are the types o...
Chemical sinus burn

This is a unique problem. A burn to a sinus cavity would typically fall under the speciality of ENT surgery. That is where I would start.

Children of this age heal very well, and the burn will change its appe...

The white of the burn makes it sound like the burn is full thickness in depth or third degree. A topical antibiotic such as neosporin or silvadene is appropriate.
