Topical creams

Topical creams are medications or skincare products applied directly to the skin to treat various conditions. They work locally, meaning they target specific areas without needing to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Common uses include reducing inflammation, relieving pain, treating skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and delivering medications for infections. The creams come in different formulations, such as ointments, lotions, or gels, allowing for varied absorption and application depending on the skin issue. Properly used, topical creams can effectively manage symptoms and improve skin health with minimal systemic side effects.
