    Author: McKay M.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1983 Sep; 10(3):513-24. PubMed ID: 6556696.
    Abstract:
    Topical therapy is a useful and versatile treatment modality which can bring a great deal of satisfaction to the patient with a skin disorder. Understanding the basic principles of skin hydration and emollient therapy can often prevent dermatitis in patients with "sensitive skin" which appears to flare at the slightest provocation. Understanding the underlying principles of topical skin care when prescribing the more potent steroid-containing preparations can make dermatologic therapy effective and rewarding.
