Cream is a type of topical medication that is used for the treatment of skin conditions. It is a semi-solid preparation that is applied directly to the skin and is used for a variety of conditions, including dry skin, eczema, acne, and other skin irritations. Creams are typically composed of a combination of active ingredients and excipients, such as emulsifiers, moisturizers, and preservatives, which help to provide a smooth and hydrating consistency. The dosage form of cream allows for easy application and quick absorption into the skin, providing a convenient and effective way to treat various skin conditions. However, it is important to follow the instructions on the label and to avoid applying cream to open wounds or irritated skin.
