Excerpt from Photographic Atlas of the Diseases of the Skin, Vol. 4 of 4: A Series of Ninety-Six Plates, Comprising Nearly Two Hundred Illustrations, With Descriptive Text, and a Treatise on Cutaneous Therapeutics If eczematous patches complicate the disease, the use of vulcanized rubber underwear, worn with the rubber side next the skin, may prove of value. Naphthol (two to five per cent.) in oxide of zinc ointment may be smeared upon pieces of muslin and applied to the limbs beneath a roller bandage. Kaposi has long used this remedy, and claims that it diminishes the itching at once, has no disagreeable odor, and does not soil the linen. The local treatment should be continued until the skin is smooth and all itching has ceased. Applications may then be made less frequently until the skin has remained smooth for a month or more. Arsenic, according to Zeisler, exerts little, if any, influence upon the eruption, even if given perseveringly and in full doses. Pilocarpin, used subcutaneously, will produce a profuse perspiration and thereby soften the skin, but its incidental effects require that it should be used with great caution. Antipyrin, in doses of one to three grains, has been found service able by Blaschko and others in lessening the intense pruritus and controlling the urticaria! Symptoms. Crocker relieves the itching by giving full doses of the tincture of cannabis indica. For a child of eight or ten he begins with five minims, and increases it even to thirty minims, three times daily, directly after meals. An interval of a fortnight in its administration should be allowed about every six weeks, since when taken in large doses for a long period it may produce dullness of intellect and loss of memory, which soon passes oli, however, when the drug is suspended.
