spot treatment
Pimple-fighting dab
Spot treatment is the application of a product or remedy to a specific, localized area rather than broadly.
In skincare, it means dabbing acne medication on individual blemishes: I use this spot treatment on pimples overnight.
In cleaning, it's treating a particular stain.
In agriculture or lawn care, it's applying herbicide or pesticide to targeted patches rather than the whole area.
