Treating skin disease comprises topical application of a salt soln. comprising: (a) 1-30 wt.% salt compsn. comprising Na<+>, Mg<2+>, Ca<2+>, K<+>, Cl<->, SO4<2->, HCO3<-> and/or CO3<2->, the ions comprise at least 97.5wt.% of the ionic content of the salt compsn.; (b) 0.05-10wt.% therapeutic agent (TA), at least partially soluble in the soln., for treating skin disease; and (c) a solvent. A compsn. prepd. from 150-380 g/kg. Na<+>, 10-90 g/kg. Mg<2+>, 1-30g/kg. Ca<2+>, 0.5-35g/kg K<+>, 150-750g/kg. Cl<->, 20-200g/kg. SO4<2->, 1-5g/kg. HCO3<-> and 0.1-2g/kg. CO3<2-> in a solvent, and being free of zinc is new. |
