Burn after spilling of chemical on skin needs to managed with antiseptic ointments to avoid infection of the site. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment of the burn site and prescription of medication depending on the condition of the skin. Cavilon is a skin moisturizer which will not be able to arrest infection.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
