Abstract

In the past, skin conditions have not gotten as much attention in health care as other serious, worldwide diseases. Nonetheless, many skin conditions are brought to the attention of primary healthcare systems around the globe, especially in tropical regions. Although the majority of skin problems are treated by contemporary physicians, over 70% of patients with skin ailments are thought to not seek treatment. Traditional medicine has existed since the dawn of human civilization. Traditional medicine makes use of a wide range of materials, but plants play a particularly important role. Skin illnesses may be harmful in a variety of ways and are a common and widespread health issue that affect people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. A healthy body depends on having good skin. Numerous people are susceptible to skin conditions including cellulitis, herpes, and malignancy. These illnesses are commonly treated using certain wild plants and their components. Since the dawn of humankind, plants have been used. Natural medicine is said to be safe and inexpensive. Additionally, it is a good raw material for making novel synthetic agents. This review paper offers an overview of certain medicinal plants used in the management of skin conditions.
