Abstract
The history of selenium sulfide and its chemical nature as a discrete compound are discussed together with its uses within the medical field of dermatology. Evidence for its effects on biological systems are presented and potential mechanisms of action via its antimicrobial activity, effects on cell growth and its role as a catalyst in the enhancement of the activity of sulfur are critically reviewed.
