Topical therapy is an ancient and honorable rite performed for eons by kings and quacks of the art of medicine not to mention the myriads of lesser informed members of human society. Considering the enormous variety and quantity of molecules the ancients and moderns have applied to skin in the ever hopeful management of skin disease, it is quite remarkable that almost all such diseases have remained steadfast and full‐blown in the face of incredibly imaginative potions and poultices.
