What Does Concrete Burn Look Like

Symptoms include blisters, dead or hardened skin, and black or green discoloration. In severe cases, cement burns will go all the way down to the bone. They can cause scarring, disability, skin grafts, or even amputation.

How do I know if I have a concrete burn?

  1. Redness.
  2. Itching.
  3. Dryness.
  4. Blisters.
  5. Scabs.
  6. Pain.

How do you treat concrete burns on skin?

  1. Wash your skin with water immediately.
  2. Apply vinegar to reduce the burn; vinegar is a weak acid, so it will counteract the alkaline and help to balance your pH.
  3. Seek professional medical attention right away if a large area of skin is burned.
