INTRODUCTION
Topical medications are fundamental in the armamentarium of dermatologic therapeutics, offering the ability to deliver treatment directly to the skin while limiting systemic side effects. However, topical therapy can be time-consuming and messy, and it may not be practical for generalized skin disorders or effective for conditions with deeper involvement. Choosing an appropriate topical regimen requires consideration of the disease process and involved site(s) as well as the vehicle, application strategy, and duration of use of the selected agent. This chapter reviews general principles of topical therapy and topical medications not discussed elsewhere in the textbook. Table 129.1 lists topical medications covered in other chapters.
