From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In medicine, a topical medication is applied to body surfaces such as the skin or mucous membranes such as the vagina, anus, throat, eyes and ears. Some hydrophobic chemicals such as steroid hormones can be absorbed into the body after being applied to the skin in the form of a cream, gel or lotion.

GNU Free Documentation License Can hand sanitizer work as topical antibiotics? Q. Hi, I have acne that I want to disinfect and prevent. I was prescribed topical antibiotic gel before but I'm out of it now. Would hand sanitizer gel work the same way? They both claim to kill germs, so I'm curious. Thanks!

If you want help with acne I would suggest go out in the sunlight, wash your face regulary, and get your prescription refilled.

Q. My dog is on Sentinal & hasn't had any problems w/fleas until my brother's dog came into the house. My brother's dog isn't on any kind of medication. She apparently has fleas & I've seen a few on my puppy. I've been told (on here) that Sentinal kills the eggs & not the adult fleas. I want him to stay on Sentinal, because of the heartworm & intestinal worm protection. I can't afford to take him to the vet again, just over this. So I was thinking of getting some over the counter topical flea medication, but wanted to check & make sure it's safe to use w/Sentinal & if so, see if there are any recommendations on the over the counter brand that is best.
