Nanoparticles for Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common inflammatory skin conditions with increased prevalence, especially among children. The relapsing nature of the disease opens the need for advanced efficient drug delivery carriers suitable for topical application of therapeutic agents. Recently, nanotechnology has offered many advantages as drug delivery systems for the topical treatment of skin diseases. Atopic dermatitis as one of the most common skin diseases is discussed here; in addition, various types of nanocarriers used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis as well as the associated benefits and risks are explored.
