title: [Side effects of dermatologic local therapy].
abstract: After application of dermatics systemic as well as topical side effects are to be expected, the latter also by usage of remedies and cosmetics. Even though life-threatening or lethal complications caused by potent substances like mercury compounds, phenols, salicylic acid, boric acid and others seldom have been observed, it is necessary to prevent them completely. Most frequent are allergic contact eczemas, but occasionally also toxic irritations of the skin can be registered. The side effects discussed, especially those caused by steroids and antibiotics, demand strong criteria for indication, scientific mode of administration and intensification of the topical efforts for standardization of dermatological treatment.
