title: [Ointments and other dermal applications].
abstract: In dermatopharmacotherapy the choice of the appropriate vehicle is essential. Acuity of the efflorescence, localization, and extent of the affection, skin type, cosmetic preferences of the patient as well as removability with water, cooling and occlusive effects of the vehicle are important criteria for the choice of the appropriate vehicle. Adapted therapeutic and utilization modalities support a successful dermatopharmacotherapy and compliance.
