Abstract:
A method for topically dispersing a water-soluble antibiotic throughout the keratin layer of a preselected area of the skin comprising the steps of:cleansing said area of the skin; electrolyzing water to produce an alkaline fraction of said water; preparing an aqueous solution of said water-soluble antibiotic by dissolving a physiologically acceptable amount of said water-soluble antibiotic in said alkaline fraction of said water; applying said aqueous solution of said water-soluble antibiotic to said area of the skin; wicking said aqueous solution of said water-soluble antibiotic into said keratin layer, said keratin layer absorbing said water from said aqueous solution of said water-soluble antibiotic, said water thereby carrying said antibiotic into intimate dispersal throughout said keratin layer; and evaporating said water from said keratin layer thereby leaving said water-soluble antibiotic in intimate dispersal throughout said keratin layer.
