Abstract
An emulsion containing one or several polyunsaturated, long-chain omega-3 and/or omega-6 fatty acids or their pharmaceutically tolerable esters or salts, as well as usual adjuvants and additives, is used to produce an intravenously administered medicament for treating skin diseases, in particular inflammatory skin diseases, as well as diseases of the dermatitis or eczema group. Preferably, fatty acids containing 18-22 carbon atoms, as well as their pharmaceutically tolerable esters of salts, are used. These acids or their pharmaceutically tolerable esters or salts may be used in their pure form or as components of oils, such as fish oil, highly-purified fish oil concentrates, linseed oil, primrose oil, borage oil or soya oil. Specially preferred are the pharmaceutically tolerable esters or salts of said acids, in particular the pharmaceutically tolerable esters, especially those derived from eicosapentaenic acid. The emulsions may be further intravenously administered in the framework of a combined therapy with presently known therapies of skin diseases.
