A method of treating a subject having one or more skin lesions may involve administering a composition comprising cantharidin to one or more skin lesions. The method may allow for the efficacious treatment of the skin lesion(s) with minimal or no adverse side effects (e.g., severe adverse side effects, permanent damage of the dermal tissue, scarring, excessive blistering of skin surrounding the lesion, elevated plasma cantharidin concentration, systemic exposure to cantharidin). The efficacy and/or safety of the treatment may be due, to certain features of the composition and/or prolonged exposure of the skin lesion(s) to cantharidin. The methods described herein may be used for a wide variety of cutaneous disorders, including skin disorders that primarily affect the epidermis of skin.
