Summary
In this chapter we will review selected preclinical and clinical studies for potential future development of cannabinoids in the treatment of skin diseases. Already there is a great deal of interest not only for the physiological and pharmacological properties of cannabinoids but also the potential benefits of formulations that could be provided as topical. However, this enthusiasm has not yet been matched by any regulatory agency globally and there are no approved indications from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Canada Health and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on the use of any cannabinoid in dermatology.
