Acids and bases have the ability to destroy the body tissue due to their corrosive nature. Burns occur if skin is exposed to concentrated acids. Dilute acid exposure induces irritation and redness. When strong bases come in contact with skin, the pain is not immediate. But they have the ability to penetrate into the tissue and affect the bone.
