Thanks for the query.
Chemical burns are a type of allergic reaction.
It can be treated with the use of a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
Take an antihistamine tablet if you have itch.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
