description Nanotechnology, particularly through the use of nanocomposites, holds great promise in addressing the challenges of skin diseases, which are often difficult to treat due to the complex anatomy of the skin and limitations of traditional therapies. Nanocomposites, composed of nanoparticles integrated into matrix materials like polymers, metals, or ceramics, offer enhanced therapeutic efficacy and targeted delivery. Their unique properties enable customized solutions for specific dermatological applications. For example, graphene oxide-based nanocomposites improve penetration of the skin’s stratum corneum, facilitating deeper drug delivery. Silver and curcumin-based nanocomposites provide controlled release of active ingredients over extended periods, protecting bioactive compounds from degradation. Additionally, hydroxyapatite-based nanocomposites enhance mechanical properties and bioactivity through chemical bonding with the polymer matrix. These advancements show significant potential in treating various skin conditions, including wounds, infections, cancer, and tissue engineering. Nanocomposites also excel in antimicrobial therapies, promoting wound healing, combating bacterial and fungal infections, and targeting cancer cells in skin carcinoma treatments. Their ability to improve diagnostic imaging and facilitate tissue regeneration further expands their applications. Despite these promising benefits, concerns about biocompatibility, toxicity, and legal challenges remain, necessitating further research to develop standardized protocols for clinical use. The future of nanocomposites in dermatology looks promising, with innovations in personalized medicine, smart drug delivery, and multifunctional materials driving progress. Continued research and development will be essential to unlock the full potential of nanocomposites in enhancing clinical dermatology. Overall, this review covers the various aspects of nanocomposites for treating of skin diseases and provide a holistic understanding that can guide future research and improve clinical practices in dermatology.
