Hydrophobic elastomeric polymer chemistry device for inhibiting the growth of onychomycosis and urushiol-induced allergic contact dermatitis

Abstract

A system and method for treating onychomycosis and skin conditions such as urushiol-induced allergic contact dermatitis comprises coating the affected nail or skin with a solution comprising an at least a primary diamine with modified diphenylmethane diisocyanates and a carrier solvent/reactant. A secondary diamine may be mixed with the primary diamine in an oligomeric, stoichiometrically balanced blend. Upon topical application, the carrier solvent/reactant evaporates, allowing polymerization of the remaining solution constituents to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic, elastomeric polyureathane linked copolymer coating that provides a barrier against moisture impregnation, inhibiting the growth of dermatophytes and urushiol-infected skin cells.
