He is very tired. He has cold spots and hot spots. He say his butt hurts from his lower spine all the way around to his penis area. He thinks it may be to much lye. What should he do.

These substances can cause toxicity in some cases if the amount taken is excessive. It can even be fatal in some cases. The IV route is also dangerous as it directly, completely and very quickly exposes the body to the drug. Even when taken in less amounts they are known to cause discomfort and symptoms like you have described. It is important that you visit the A and E so that his assessment can be done and if needed the necessary interventions can be taken.

He need to be hospitalized immediately for further management.
