topicals
Creams and salves
Topicals are medications or products applied directly to the skin rather than taken internally: creams, ointments, patches, and lotions.
The term appears most often in medical contexts and cannabis dispensaries, where topicals distinguish skin-applied products from edibles or inhalables: The topicals won't get you high, but they help with joint pain.
