in other cases, "topical" is defined as applied to a localized area of the body or to the surface of a body part regardless of the location of the effect. by this definition, topical administration also includes transdermal application, where the substance is administered onto the skin but is absorbed into the body to attain systemic distribution. such medications are generally hydrophobic chemicals, such as steroid hormones. specific types include transdermal patches which have become a popular means of administering some drugs for birth control, hormone replacement therapy, and prevention of motion sickness. one example of an antibiotic that may be applied topically is chloramphenicol.

bullet::::- habituation: topical steroid addiction (tsa) or red burning skin has been reported in long-term users of topical steroids (users who applied topical steroids to their skin over a period of weeks, months, or years). tsa is characterised by uncontrollable, spreading dermatitis and worsening skin inflammation which requires a stronger topical steroid to get the same result as the first prescription. when topical steroid medication is lost, the skin experiences redness, burning, itching, hot skin, swelling, and/or oozing for a length of time. this is also called 'red skin syndrome' or 'topical steroid withdrawal'(tsw). after the withdrawal period is over the atopic dermatitis can cease or is less severe than it was before.
