Abstract
A composition consisting essentially of human leukocyte interferon and an antiviral surfactant, such as the non-ionic surfactant, nonylphenoxypolyethoxy ethanol, and a physiologically acceptable carrier therefor, has been found to be useful for the treatment of malignant and pre-malignant skin lesions and skin lesions associated with herpes zoster and psoriasis by topically administering or applying the composition to the affected skin area.
