topically

/ˈtɑpəkəɫli/ adv

(Applied) to a localized part of the body.

Word Origin Topically comes from topical, from Greek topos 'place.' The idea: relating to a particular place or topic (a place in discourse). The same topos gives us topography, topology, utopia (no place), and dystopia (bad place), so topically means 'with respect to a specific subject or location.'
