Patient's question:
The liquid from the glow stick accidentally got on my face, and small white patches have appeared around my mouth. It's also painful. Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? If so, how long will it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The liquid in glow sticks is an oily fluorescent substance that emits fluorescence under interaction, creating a decorative effect. Fluorescent agents are chemical substances and have a certain toxicity. According to the description, since fluorescent agents have a low irritant effect, they should not cause harm if they get into the eyes. When ingested, due to the small amount of fluorescent material and its low toxicity, it should also not cause any effects. It is recommended to rinse with a large amount of water immediately.
