Penicillin is not effectively absorbed through the skin due to its molecular structure and the protective barrier that skin provides. While some medications can penetrate the skin for transdermal delivery, penicillin typically requires systemic administration, such as oral or intravenous routes, to achieve therapeutic levels in the bloodstream. Therefore, using penicillin topically is not a viable method for treatment.
