What is a 'topical ointment'?

I%26#039;ve heard people talk about %26#039;topical ointments%26#039; but really don%26#039;t know what they are. Can you use them on sunburn?

Hi! A topical ointment is any medicated cream that you put on your skin. Not to be taken internally. I have found that aloe vera gel (the green stuff) is excellent for sunburn.

Use a spray on sunburn treatment. It will hurt less.





Neosporin would be a topical ointment.
Reply:It is an ointment applied to the surface of the skin and not ingested. Suntan oils, lotions, creams, etc. are all topical.
