Biologics are highly targeted medicines that contain molecules from living organisms. Topicals include medicated and non-medicated creams, ointments or gels applied to the skin.
Topical medications are applied directly to the skin to
treat or prevent skin issues such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema. They
may come in the form of creams, ointments, lotions, but are not limited to
these formats.
Biologics are a class of medications that leverage
living organisms to treat specific cells in the body. Common conditions such
as psoriasis and eczema may be treated with biologics. Biologics are
typically administered though injection.
