Topical treatment of the aging face.
This article discusses the various over-the-counter and prescription products available to help improve sun-damaged skin, as well as superficial peeling agents. Practical suggestions for treating patients are given.
Administration, Topical↗
Resurfacing with topical agents.
Evaluation of the aging face reveals many changes such as lentigines, coarseness, senile purpura, and fine lines that can be blamed primarily on photoaging. There are many topical preparations that are now being used or are under investigation for facial rejuvenation. These include retinold creams, alpha-hydroxy acids, Ethocyn (Chantal Skin Care Corp, Los Angeles, CA), topical vitamins, and topical hormonal treatments. There has been substantial media attention devoted to these "antiaging" cures but there is a lack of scientific evidence to support some of these claims. After review of these agents, a practical approach to the patient requesting younger-looking skin is presented.

Alstroemeria. A new and potent allergen for florists.
Alstroemeria (Peruvian or Inca lily) has found particular favor because of its beauty and durability. However, it may induce a dermatitis so severe that workers have to change jobs. The dermatitis is chronic, with fissuring at the tips of the fingers bilaterally. Itching is often a less prominent symptom. Preventative measures are of little benefit, and many floral shops are vanishing the plant.
