description Hydrofluoric acid is a caustic compound found in a wide variety of items for household and industrial uses. Dermal exposures can be visually unimpressive on presentation but still have fatal complications. This case review includes a description of a patient presenting with a dermal hydrofluoric acid burn that was effectively treated with topical calcium gluconate gel. Also highlighted are the challenges faced with recognizing the severity and appropriately treating dermal hydrofluoric acid burns in the emergency department.
