Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intradermal injections are given within the skin, just below the epidermis. This type of injection is commonly used for diagnostic tests such as tuberculosis skin testing, allergy testing, and local anesthesia. Subcutaneous injections are given into the fatty tissue layer beneath the skin, while transdermal drugs are delivered through a patch applied to the skin. Topical drugs are applied directly to the skin surface.
