Yes, certain acids can be absorbed through the skin depending on their chemical properties. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid can cause burns and penetrate the skin more easily, while weak acids may not be as readily absorbed. It is important to handle acids with caution and use appropriate protective equipment to prevent skin exposure.

Can water go through your pores?

Water can, and does, move through the pores of human skin. Sweat (mostly water) is excreted (out) through skin pores. Additionally, some water is absorbed (in) through the skin pores. However, most water that is absorbed through the skin, enters through the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This is what makes skin pruney, when a long time is spent in the water. Human skin can absorb a wide variety of other chemicals, as well. This is why the delivery of some medications is accomplished using a patch.
