USPTO Abstract

The present invention relates to treating disordered epithelial tissues such as cold sores and other complications resulting from disorders such as herpes, and the like. The compositions combine an anti-infective and/or antimicrobial active agent in a carrier. Systems are then used to vigorously agitate the disordered epithelial tissue while topically applying the treatment composition such that the disordered epithelial tissue improves in a clinically discernable manner. The preferred anti-infective and/or antimicrobial active agent is an organohalide such as a quaternary ammonium compound, preferably benzalkonium chloride. The inventive compositions may be used also in connection with a preferred applicator configuration.
