A disposable dermatological compress for the application of aqueous solutions to the skin to achieve evaporative cooling includes a body of water-permeable material constructed as a multi-layer device. An inner layer of smooth sheeting is directly applied to the skin. An intermediate layer of water-absorbing material functions as a reservoir to retain a large quantity of solution. An outer evaporation layer receives the solutions from the reservoir for evaporation. The evaporation layer has a surface area which is several times larger than the area defined by the outer boundaries of the unit to serve as an efficient evaporator.
