The use of acetic acid thallium in fungal diseases

The huge spread of fungal diseases in the USSR forces us to look for affordable methods of treatment that could be applied in the areas most affected. Medical treatment with various disinfecting ointments without hair removal does not achieve the goal, while conventional hair removal with tweezers is possible only in cases with sharply limited and small lesions. The use of X-ray therapy is not always available due to the lack of a sufficient number of X-ray units, and not in all cases this therapy can be carried out. Therefore, the method of hair removal with thallium acetate, proposed by Buschke, aroused great interest.
