I work in a gob/waste coal fired plant and ash burns (caustic) are common for a few of us. Some folks skin is more reactive than others. The trick to pH burns is that an acid burns its way in. You know when it is happening. It feels like a bee-sting or a pinch. A caustic gets in and burns its way out. Emulsifies the skin and makes soap out of your hide. You literally wash off your skin. It is a much worse burn and in most cases you do not know it has occurred until it is too late. Knowing that you are susceptible to this type of burn will let you know next time.
When you make soap, you treat fat with a strong base (caustic) to sever the ester from the fatty acid tail. A caustic burn does the exact same thing to the phospho-lipid bilayer that is your skin.
