It is successfully used for all kinds of eczema, even for those of babies on a milk diet (milk pustules); for allergic rashes, acne, ringworm, impetigo, several infections, senile dermatosis (atrophy of the skin in old persons), skin itching, psoriasis, and herpes. It is used as lotions and cleansers as a cosmetic, and against dryness, stretch marks, and skin wrinkles.
