Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — chemical burn

Chemical burns occur when corrosive substances contact skin or mucous membranes, causing tissue necrosis, blistering, and systemic toxicity. Immediate irrigation with copious amounts of water is required to neutralize or remove the agent. These symptoms are distinct from mechanical dermatitis or fungal infections like athlete's foot.
