You use tv shows as your basis of understanding for what would actually happen?

No, but it's a good example.

I also know skin absorbs things. That's why they make transdermal medications. Like nicotine or lidocaine patches, or what has helped me the most: Voltaren.

All your examples of things which the skin absorbs, are things which were specifically designed to be absorbed by skin - there's a reason they don't tell you to take paracetamol by holding a tablet to your stomach.

The fact that they make transdermal medications at all should be proof enough that not all medications are transdermal
