Alkalinity is a measure of how well a solution neutralizes an acid compared to a carbonate or bicarbonate. A used alkaline battery is most likely very weak, so it wont burn your skin, just wash it off. If a new alkaline battery explodes or leaks onto your skin and it burns you, you should neutralize it with a acid such as vinegar. Then rinse the affected area and cover it.
