Chemical burns occur when the skin or eyes come into contact with harmful chemicals. Flushing the affected area with water for 15 minutes is the correct first-aid treatment for chemical burns. This helps to remove any remaining chemicals from the skin or eyes and dilute the concentration of the chemical. Flushing with water should be done immediately after the burn occurs and should continue for a full 15 minutes to ensure thorough rinsing. This treatment helps to minimize the damage caused by the chemical and can provide relief from pain and discomfort. Applying petroleum jelly or elevating the burned body part is not the recommended first-aid treatment for chemical burns.

Unlike first-degree and second-degree burns, which only affect the outer layers of the skin, third-degree burns penetrate through all layers of the skin and can cause extensive damage. These burns are often painless because they destroy nerve endings. Treatment for third-degree burns usually involves skin grafts and long-term medical care to promote healing and prevent infection.
