Abstract

THE pathogenesis of most scaling skin conditions is obscure. Although it has been often assumed that abnormal processes of keratinization play a major part, recent work has emphasized the importance of the water-soluble components of the horny layer. These components contribute to the water-binding ability and pliability of the normal skin surface1; their amounts are reduced in psoriatic scales2 and skin3.
