GlossaryTopical Treatments

medications applied directly to the skin or scalp

Topical treatments, also known as topical agents or topical medications, are medications applied directly to a specific area of the skin or scalp to treat localized conditions. These treatments can include creams, gels, ointments, and lotions, and are commonly used for conditions like alopecia, psoriasis, and eczema, delivering active ingredients directly to the affected area to minimize systemic side effects.
