AB Drugs  can  be  applied  to  skin  for  two  purposes:  to  directly  treat  disorders  of  the  skin  and  to  deliver  drugs  to  other  tissues  (Figure  65–1).  The  optimization  of  cutaneous  therapies  requires  detailed  physiological  knowledge  of  the  skin  as  reviewed  extensively  elsewhere  (Wolff  et  al.,  2008).  This  chapter  emphasizes  the  basis  of  common  skin  therapies.  Therapies  that  are  used  primarily  for  skin  diseases  are  discussed  in  detail;  other  therapies  that  are  applicable  for  skin  disease  are  summarized  and  the  reader  referred  to  the  appropriate  portion  of  this  book  for  their  detailed  pharmacology  and  toxicology.
