Accident during lab?

Question: Today when I was doing the lab at school. I spilled sulfuric acid on my hand. It wasn’t a lot, only a big drop, but it was burning and painful. I washed it with water for about 5-7 min. I wanted to know will there be future complications. Is there any treatment I should carry out at home?


Thanks

Answers:
if you work in a lab. then you should have COSHH sheets for every substance that you use! (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health) these will tell you what to do if you have an accident! If not then you should ask why not!!!! i believe its the law!!

no seriously, if you are concerned, see a doctor. what sort of mark has been left?

You should have put some baking soda or something on it. Water doesn't neutralize acid. Probably too late for that now though. Did it leave a burn mark or anything? Unless its still eating its way through your hand, you should be fine. I doubt it made it past the first layer or two of skin.
