Eczema of the inner surface of the thigh

Eczema of the inner surface of the thigh not unfrequently appears in the papular form, and may best be treated with permanently attached dressings containing zinc or white precipitate.

Eczema of the anus is an insidious affection, and is frequently of long standing before it is brought to the notice of the physician. Thickening and fissures often coexist, and should first be treated and healed by cauterization, peroxide of hydrogen, graphite ointment, or powder, etc., before any attempt is made to reduce the infiltration by strong alkaline applications. One of the most effective applications to the fissures is the fine point of a Paquelin cautery at a white heat.
