Abstract
In general, immediate water irrigation is recommended for all chemical burns. Very few chemicals cannot be safely washed off the skin with water, however cresol is one of the exceptions. A 40 per cent TBSA cresol chemical burn that subsequently developed systemic intoxication and multiple organ failure is reported. The patient survived after intensive general supportive treatment, repeated haemodialysis and wound care.
