Description

Topical application of Solbase (a mixture of polyethylene glycol 400 & 4000) plus occlusion improved the eruptions of 2 patients with Darier’s disease. To determine the mechanism of action, the effect of polyethelene glycol 400 on the rat epidermal DNA synthesis was investigated using autoradiography and doing 14C-thymidine incorporation studies. Seven days’ topical application of polyethylene glycol 400 activated epidermal DNA synthesis nearly double the value seen in the control. This therapy should be considered for patients with Darier’s disease and especially for whom retinoids cannot be prescribed.
