There is no harm in a fasting person using topical medication on the skin to treat dermatological diseases, and this does not invalidate their fast. This is among the things that do not harm the fast, even if absorbed into the body through the skin, such as lotions, ointments, and medicinal skin patches loaded with pharmaceutical or chemical substances.
