EXTERNAL TREATMENT
External therapeutic measures are more essential for immediate relief than internal remedies, and in some diseases they are the only means necessary. The same may be said as regards internal measures for some maladies but a happy blending of the two is the usual procedure. External treatment seeks to hasten repair when possible, to palliate when necessary, and to absolutely destroy if essential. It is a general fact that applications for acutely inflamed surfaces should be mild, soothing and protective. For subacute inflammatory diseases and those presenting slight infiltration or induration, moderately stimulating measures are necessary. While indolent, thickened dermatoses call for stimulative and counterirritative treatment. The fact that most of the remedies used externally are antiseptic in some measure is fortunate because of the prevalence of germ life in the skin.
Water. Baths. Pure or medicated water is applied to the surface of the skin in the form of baths or lotions. As a lotion water may be used to produce a sedative effect by the addition of belladonna, glycerin, phenol, hydrocyanic acid, bismuth, zinc, mercury, lead and the various alkalines. It may be made stimulating by the addition of alcohol or by a majority of the acids and alkalies used in greater strength than employed for sedative purposes, and also by a great number of chemically and mechanically acting substances. The addition of tannin, lead and other remedies will make water astringent while its combination with soaps and alkalies in varying proportions produces a solvent effect on the normal or diseased skin. Local or general baths may be given for a few moments, a few hours or continuously for days. They may be given cold, warm or hot and boiled or rain water is less irritating than ordinary water. It can be safely said that vapor, steam, Russian or Turkish baths are less valuable in the treatment of skin diseases than in general disorders. Ordinarily water is employed to remove the products of disease or for simple cleanliness. However, it is actually detrimental to many inflammatory diseases such as eczema and in these cases some cleansing oil or grease must be employed. Thirty gallons comprises an ordinary tub bath which should be taken warm enough so as not to chill the patient during immersion which may vary from two to thirty minutes. The natural spring baths containing sulphur, arsenic and other mineral constituents may prove serviceable when they are obtainable, but usually a bath can be artificially altered to suit the case. Thus baths may be made mucilaginous by the addition of gelatin (1/2 to 2 ounces to the gallon), starch (1 ounce to the gallon) or bran (1 to 2 ounces to the gallon). These are soothing in effect, well suited to both acute and chronic diseases under certain circumstances.
