Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant and physiologically active phytocannabinoids in Cannabis plants. The chemical has well-known mechanisms that have been the potential to treat and prevent numerous inflammatory, immunologic, anti-infectious, sun-damaged, age-related (wrinkling, drying, hair loss), and neurogenic-related (anti-pain, anti-itch) diseases as well as heal traumatized skin. The incorporation of CBD on or within topically applied formulations or within wound care dressings, biomaterials skin substitutes, or skin adhesives is a novel approach to alleviate, prevent and cure acute and chronic skin disease, and promote normal healing and recovery after injury. |
