Chemicals from the skin's outer surface are transported into the skin and into the bloodstream through skin absorption. The degree of exposure to and potential consequences of a drug that might enter the body through the skin are discussed in relation to skin absorption.
What is absorption?
- Substances can enter the body through the skin through a process called skin absorption.
- Dermal absorption is a method of medicine administration as well as a route of exposure for harmful compounds, along with inhalation, ingestion, and injection.
- The concentration of a substance, the length of contact, the solubility of the medication, the physical state of the skin and the exposed area of the body, and other factors all affect how well a substance is absorbed through the skin.
- Chemicals from the skin's outer surface are transported through the skin (percutaneously or dermally) and into the bloodstream.
- Skin absorption is concerned with the extent of exposure and potential consequences of a drug that might enter the body through the skin.
What pathways are there for absorption through the skin?
- Through penetration (8-2), permeation (8-3: intercellular routes and 8-4: hair shaft route), and resorption, substances or particles are absorbed by the skin (8-5).
- A substance enters the body through the skin layers by penetration.
