“…‘ Hexachloro‐phene ’, ’ Vancide ‘ and ’ Bithionol’ are used for their antiseptic action. A valuable single agent is selenium sulphide, which came to prominence after Slepyan 3 and Slinger and Hubbard 4 had demonstrated its specific antiseborrhoeic action.

This simple technique serves as a painless diagnostic method, which may prevent unnecessary evaluation with a biopsy.
