Dermatological treatments

Monobasic aluminum acetate (eg, aluminum subacetate), aluminum formoacetate, normal aluminum formate, and basic aluminum formate have found widespread use as mordants in dyeing, in the formulation of waterproofing compositions for textiles, and for dermatological treatment.

Multiple emulsions have been used to deliver active agents with prolonged release in dermatological treatments. For example, O/W/O emulsions have been used to deliver pilocarpine hydrochloride as a myopic agent in eye infections [440]. Here the active agents was placed in the internal oil phase of the O/W/O emulsion to provide an appropriate rate of release. Similar approaches have been used in other treatments, using W/O/W emulsions [440]. 

In addition to the repair of the epidermal barrier, petrolatum has been used in other types of dermatological treatments. Petrolatum can affect the transmission of UV light during phototherapy... 

Petrolatum is widely used as a classic skin moisturizer.110 Its uses range from cosmetic skin care products to dermatological treatments to patch test substrates to tissue paper emollients. As long as people require soft, supple, moisturized skin, petrolatum will be a key ingredient in meeting that requirement. 

For dermatological treatment the main focus has been on vitamins A and D. Retinoids have been used systemically and topically for the treatment of acne and a variety of hyperkeratotic disorders including psoriasis, ichthyoses, and lichenoid dermatoses as well as skin cancer.1 Vitamin D-analogs are of great importance for the topical treatment in psoriasis. 

EPS is an excellent treatment for mild comedonal, papular or papulopustular acne. Peels are obviously not indicated in more severe cases of acne, for which only dermatological treatments will do. Comedones, microcysts and white-heads should be removed during the week before the first EPS to avoid handling the skin immediately before the peel at the risk of the EPS penetrating too deeply. Some doctors report removal of comedones or microcysts immediately before EPS, with good results. 

MCA has nevertheless been suggested as a dermatological treatment for mosaic warts or periungual warts at a concentration of 80% or 60 g of MCA -I- 10 ml of water. Treating warts involves MCA coming into contact with a very limited area of skin, which explains the absence of poisoning when the treatment is carried out careMly. MCA has also been combined with salicylic acid and is considered more effective than dichloro- or trichloroacetic add in the treatment of warts. Because of this product s very high and potentially fatal toxicity, its use and indications should be strictly limited. 

Active comedonal, microcystic, papular or papulopustular acne are good indications for Easy TCA or Easy Phytic. Many dermatological treatments are equally effective. 

Once the specific causes of the disease are identified, the most important aspect of treatment of occupational skin disease is to avoid contact. Dermatological treatment of acute disease is very similar to that of disease of non-occupational background. Skin protection (gloves, barrier cream, emollients and avoidance of irritative factors) is as important as allergen avoidance. Due to the legal implications of occupational skin disease, a thorough and detailed documentation of all medical investigations is important [30-36].
