    medication in foam form applied to skin or scalp

    Topical Foam, also known as Foam Treatment, is a medication delivery system where the active ingredient is suspended in a foam base for application to the skin or scalp. This form is often used for treating conditions like alopecia, as it allows for easy application, better absorption, and minimal residue compared to creams or lotions.
