Abstract
We would suggest that hexylresorcinol
(1 mgm.), plus 70 parts of water, plus 30 parts of
glycerine (i.e. S.T. 37), would be a satisfactory
preparation, or replacement of the glycerine - since
it is hygroscopic - by 20 parts of alcohol, and
therefore 80 parts of water, would in all probability
be equally satisfactory. Furthermore, this form
of treatment should be persevered with. And finally,
if the results were a little disappointing, the
percentage of hexylresorcinol could be slightly
modified thereby, possibly making a change, for the
better. In other words judge each case on its own
merits and administer this line of therapy accordingly.
