Abstract :
Neem, or Azadirachta indica, is a popular medicinal plant that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions in traditional medical systems. Antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing, anti-pruritic, and moisturizing properties are only a few of its many pharmacological actions. Its abundant phytochemical components, including limonoids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, sterols, and polyphenols, are primarily responsible for these actions. Neem has demonstrated efficacy against a variety of skin pathogens that cause wound-related problems, psoriasis, eczema, acne, and fungal infections. Its regenerative and antioxidant qualities aid in oxidative stress defense and skin restoration. The current review emphasizes neem's use in dermatological applications and raises the possibility that it could be a safe and efficient natural medicinal substance. However, more clinical research is needed to standardize and validate its long-term effectiveness.
