Question

difference between cream lotion ointment gel and paste

Answer 1

Ointments generally stay on the skin longer than creams and gels. If a drug is applied to a place that can be rubbed off easily, then ointment is a good choice. However, creams or gelsare better to use on the face becauseointments are a bit greasy. Ointmentcan also be a better choice if the patient has dry skin.
