The effect of diluted (1M) alkanoic acid on human skin

First 24 hours

irritation (prior to the removal of acid)

burning sensation (prior to the removal of acid)

tightening skin

restricted movement (the larger the affected area the more restricted)

After

peeling skin

then it’s fine

note: alkanoic acid are corrosive and the shorter the carbon chain, the more acidic they are. take appropriate safety measures when dealing with them (i.e. don't take off your gloves because they make your experiments harder)

Treatment

Place hand under running water for 5-10 mins to get rid of as much acid as possible

Use soap only afterwards because alkanoic acid with longer carbon chains are insoluble in water and might not be washed away and it's a bad idea to add alkali to acid when it's on your hand unless you wanna burn the skin right off and add some possible toxic salt to the wound. Yeah not cool. At all

Moisturize the peeling skin. According to the internet, that speeds up the peeling and the healing which weirdly rhymes. Apply aloe vera or something like that. I personally prefer water-based moisturizer. Less... oily
