Topical treatments work by delivering active ingredients directly to the site of the problem. These can include antibiotics, antifungals, anti-inflammatory agents, and analgesics. The localized application helps to concentrate the treatment where it's needed most, often minimizing systemic side effects. The effectiveness of topical treatments can be influenced by factors such as the formulation of the product, the condition of the skin, and the type of pathogen or condition being treated.
