METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING BROMHIDROSIS, HYPERHIDROSIS, HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA AND RELATED CONDITIONS OF THE HAIR FOLLICLE

摘要

Methods and compositions for alleviating treating bromhidrosis, hyperhidrosis, hidradenitis supportiva, and related conditions of the hair follicle are contemplated via the administration of at least one pharmacologically active bile acid to the area of skin containing the apocrine or eccrine glands causing such conditions. The detergent effect of the bile acid is operative to destabilize and permanently render these glands biologically inactive, substantially disrupting sweat production in the treated area, thus alleviating the treated condition. Topical and injectable formulations and methods of administrations are contemplated, along with various therapeutic regiments.
