Abstract
A method of treating skin disorders such as acne vulgaris by applying topically to the epidermis a composition of an emulsion in which there is present a silane and a volatile low viscosity low molecular weight water immiscible liquid of a silicone fluid, causing the silane to penetrate follicular orifices, using the volatile silicone fluid for the purpose of driving the silane into sebaceous glands, and destroying members of the staphylococcal group of bacteria therein. An abrasive, astringent, and fragrance may also be included. This method also allows for the treatment of dermatosis, such as ring worm and athlete's foot.
