"Topical hormones
Hormones, most often estrogen, can also be placed in or near the place that needs treatment. This is called topical hormone therapy. If small doses are used, little of the hormone is absorbed into the bloodstream, so it has little if any effect on the rest of the body."
"Estrogen therapy (ET) and cancer risk
Breast cancer
ET is not linked to a higher risk of breast cancer. In fact, certain groups of women taking ET, such as women who had no family history of breast cancer and those who had no history of benign breast disease, had a slightly lower risk of breast cancer."

I put 21 pills (0,05 mg per pill) in a 70 ml skin cream frask, what makes 0,015 mg estradiol per ml. Premarin (vaginal estrogen cream) has 0,625 mg. I don't really think that's a HUUUGE cancer risk, but of course, i'm no doctor!
If someone knows studies showing a relaction between topic estrogen use with breast (or any other type of) cancer, I'll be glad to read. Thank you all for contributing with my "personal research" discussion.
