Urine test 500ng/ml etg 100ng/ml ets: can i use products externally that contain various types of alcohol, if ethanol isn't listed in ingredients?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely a concern: Serum tox screens generally measure the products of alcohol metabolism from ingested, not topical, intake.
