Abstract

Glacial acetic acid is a highly dangerous chemical that, in recent years, has been linked to multiple adverse drug reactions in patients. Despite warnings, improper dilution of concentrated glacial acetic acid has led to severe burns and related morbidities. Therefore, We have reported a case where toes were injured due to chemical burns from glacial acetic acid, but they were successfully healed through long time conservative treatment.
