Sir I've seen a WhatsApp post, a photo saying that apply milk on acid burned skin so it will help in treating the acid attack or burned victim. Is it true?

Pouring milk on acid burn attacks is bad idea, like any other burn, the acid burns also should be treated by water and nothing else. Milk(alkaline) and acid reaction is exothermic ie produces more heat and may cause more damage.The damage caused by burns by an acid attack would be far more serious than injuries sustained in a fire because acid damages the protein continuously, leaving a chance of high morbidity. One of the first thing to do to acid attack victim is to pour chilled water continuously. Water dilutes the acid and continues to dilute it until it becomes ineffective.
