Skin is both the biggest organ and the first line of defense of the human body, which covers the outside of the body. Worldwide, 34% of occupational disorders have been identified as skin diseases. The most prevalent type of illness that affects people of all ages is skin disease. Both developed and developing nations are significantly burdened by skin problems in terms of health. Skin disorders that damage the skin, such cancer, herpes, eczema, psoriasis, and cellulite, can strike a large number of people. These disorders are frequently treated using certain wild plants and their components. It has been shown time and time again that plants and other forms of traditional medicine are essential in the treatment of skin disorders. They have been used to treat skin diseases in many countries across the globe, where they play an important role in basic healthcare. Even though modern medicine has come a long way in recent decades, plants still play an important part in healthcare. Our most successful medicine source has historically been natural products. Most skin diseases are treated using a variety of herbal herbs. Natural medicine is believed to be cheap and secure. Some potent therapeutic herbs can totally cure or significantly lessen infections and dermatological conditions. The study's primary objective is to recommend treatments for human skin disorders, but it also seeks to highlight the need of doing in-depth research on medicinal plants in order to discover potential treatments. This review emphasized the function and value of specific medicinal herbs in treating various skin conditions.
