Dermal patch

A kit for introduction of current and/or voltage to a skin portion of a subject, the kit comprising:

• (a) a dermal patch comprising an electrochemical cell having at least two electrodes positioned on one side of the dermal patch, said electrodes being for forming electrical contact with the skin portion of the subject;
• and
• (b) at least one retainer for retaining a conductive fluid, said conductive fluid being for deposition on at least one of said at least two electrodes and/or for topical application onto the skin portion of the subject;
• said patch being designed and configured for delivering an electric current through the skin and said conductive fluid, said electric current being for introduction of current and/or voltage to the skin portion of the subject.

A kit for treatment of hyperhidrosis, the kit comprising:

• (a) a dermal patch which comprises an electrochemical cell having at least two electrodes positioned on one side of the dermal patch, said electrodes being for forming electrical contact with a skin portion of a subject;
• and
• (b) at least one retainer for retaining a conductive fluid containing at least one substance, said conductive fluid being for deposition on at least one of said at least two electrodes and/or topical application onto the skin portion of the subject;
• said patch being designed and configured for delivering an electric current through the skin and said conductive fluid, said electric current being for treatment of hyperhidrosis.

A device for introduction of water to a skin portion of a subject, the device comprising:

• a dermal patch comprising an electrochemical cell wherein said electrochemical cell is a flexible thin layer open liquid state electrochemical cell which comprises a first layer of insoluble negative pole, a second layer of insoluble positive pole and a third layer of aqueous electrolyte, said third layer being disposed between said first and second layers and including:
