applied to the skin
Topical: Pertaining to a particular surface area. A topical agent is applied to a certain area of the skin and is intended to affect only the area to which it is applied. Whether its effects are indeed limited to that area depends upon whether the agent stays where it is put or is absorbed into the blood stream.

NOT just skin - eye drops are also applied topically as are local treatments for ENT, mouth and dental problems.
