I would like to know annual revenue projections from 2005-2012
(ideally, but I'll settle for 2008) for the size of the medicated skin
care market in the US.  By medicated skin care, I mean treatments to
deal with diseases that can be treated via the skin like acne,
psoriasis, rosacea, fungus, warts, hair loss, analgesics, exema,
wounds and burns, etc.  Ideally projections would be broken out for
each of the above subsectors.
