Generally, strong acids e.g. sulphuric acid (battery acid), or strong bases e.g. sodium hydroxide (lye). Your skin is actually pretty tough and open cuts or eyes, mouth, inside of

nose etc. are more vulnerable. First aid: wash immediately with cold water (milk, beer, urine, engine coolant, anything you can get) and keep washing until told to stop. Acid can remain in folds of skin and continue to burn after a quick wash.
