1. A method for treating eczema, comprising the step(s) of:
applying a surfactant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to an area affected by eczema, wherein the protonated form of the surfactant is represented by the following chemical structure:
wherein X comprises an integer ranging from approximately 1 to approximately 25, and wherein Y comprises an integer ranging from approximately 6 to approximately 25.
2. A method for treating eczema, comprising the step(s) of:
applying a surfactant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to an area affected by eczema, wherein the protonated form of the surfactant is represented by the following chemical structure:
3. The method for treating eczema, according to claim 2 , further comprising the step of applying an additional surfactant, wherein the additional surfactant is selected from at least one of the group comprising a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, and combinations thereof.
4. The method for treating eczema, according to claim 2 , wherein the eczema is selected from one of the groups comprising atopic eczema, contact eczema, allergic contact eczema, seborrheic eczema, nummular eczema, neurodermatitis, stasis dermatitis, and/or dyshidrotic eczema.
