Studying experimentally on rats and clinically on children with fungal skin diseases the effect of thallii acetici, the author comes to the following conclusions: 1) thallium aceticum when used for a long time in rats causes a temporary inhibitory effect on the endocrine system (temporary growth retardation, skeletal bone changes, decreased sexual function, development of cataracts); 2) being used as an epilation agent in fungal diseases in children aged 1-14 years in a dose of 0.008 pro kilo (a single reception per os), it causes complete hair removal after 2 weeks of administration; 3) new hair growth starts after that in 4-6 weeks; 4) no side effects are observed during the year after that; 5) Thallium aceticum as an epilation drug has several advantages in comparison with X-rays.
