Description
Recent advances in our understanding of the development and morphology of normal skin have led to improved methods to deliver therapeutic compounds to targeted areas both within the skin and systemically. This reference provides a clear overview of pharmaceutical and cosmetic practices, drugs, and therapies to manage and treat major and minor skin disorders. It examines the efficiency and delivery of topical therapies and explains how percutaneous absorption is affected by age, skin, site, race, skin disease, and damage and product form. Particular emphasis is on novel treatment approaches for major skin diseases and injuries pertaining to wounds and burns.
