    Abstract:
    Under certain condition, wet cement can cause skin chemical burns, which belongs to alkaline burns. As the symptoms are insidious in onset, the patients may be initially unaware of the injury until several hours later. It often causes full-thickness burns especially in knees, the lower limbs, and ankles. The prevalence of wet cement burns may be hugely underestimated. This article reviews the definition, occurrence, progress of injury and pathogenesis, clinical characteristics and diagnosis, and treatment and prevention of wet cement skin burns, in order to promote its prevention.
