Abstract
Nanoparticles are extremely small molecules with dimensions in nanometers. Nanotechnology is an emerging branch of engineering that involves the use of particles on a nanoscale. Nanodermatology represents one of the most emerging fields for which an increasing interest is rising among scientists as well as pharmaceutical companies. Nanoparticles have been used for various diagnostic, therapeutic, and cosmetic purposes in the field of medicine. These nanoparticles have properties quite different from the same material but of a larger scale, possibly due to a greater surface area in relation to volume. This property also imparts potential toxicities to these particles. Though nanotechnology has revolutionized the treatment of several skin diseases, it has opened a new era in the diagnosis and treatment of various skin disorders. The great potential enthusiasm about the applications of nanoparticles has been marred by a growing concern about their potential toxicities. Judicious use of nanoparticles is advised in view of nontoxicity before introduction in the market will prevent undue harm to the patient.
