ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for dispensing topical medication. The apparatus consists of a dispenser comprising a piston assembly slidably engaged with a housing, and a nozzle frictionally attached to the housing. The housing comprises an upper reservoir, lower reservoir and nozzle reservoir. The piston assembly comprises a piston attached to a rod, the rod reciprocating within a housing rod aperture, and the piston reciprocating within a housing bore. The upper reservoir is defined by a housing top, the housing bore, and the piston. The lower reservoir is defined by the piston, housing bore, and a lower reservoir floor. The upper reservoir communicates with the exterior of the housing by means of a normally closed upper reservoir valve, and with the lower reservoir by means of a normally open piston valve. The nozzle reservoir communicates with the lower reservoir through a normally closed lower reservoir valve, and with the exterior of the housing through a stem bore in a housing stem, and through a nozzle outlet. The method comprises the steps of locating pores in an area to which topical medication is to be administered, massaging skin around each pore until each pore is open, and applying medication to each pore using the dispenser.
