title: [Effect of thermal mud baths on normal, dry and seborrheic skin].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the curative effects of thermal water and thermal muds in various cutaneous pathologies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Modifications of phmetry and sebometry using sulphur thermal muds in normal, dry and seborrheic skin have been studied. The three groups of patients have been submitted to a 14 day treatment with thermal muds.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The application of thermal mud normalized the value of cutaneous pH and sebometry.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These beneficial effects are long-lasting in individuals who have a prolonged treatment with thermal muds.
