if you alter the barrier of the patch disease can alter what?

stratum corneum

what are the risks of topical meds in younger skin

-especially in pre-mees bc decr. epidermal barrier function, incr. skin fragility, poor thermal regulation thru decr. sweating



increased surface area to body mass ratio

gels...

release drugs faster


little residue left behind

powders...

absorb moisture


decrease friction


poor adherence to skin


potential inhalation risk
