The burning sensation is that the acid attacks the nerve endings near the skin.
An acid can do harm in many ways with you skin. It can dehydrate organic compounds and change them into carbon. An acid can react with the water in your skin to generate heat to kill cells.
Hydrofluoric acid does even more -- it penetrates tissue until it reaches the bones; HF reacts with the calcium in the blood and the bone to cause more damage; worse that one does not feel the pain initially to react quickly.
