Biomedical Applications of Topical Formulations for Skin and Mucosal Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Skin and mucosal disorders are conditions that affect the skin and mucous membranes, which are linings in various parts of the body, including the mouth, nose, throat, and genitals. Some common skin and mucosal disorders include eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, cold sores, oral mucositis, vaginal infections, etc. These disorders can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, causing discomfort, pain, and embarrassment.

Effective management of these conditions often involves the use of topical formulations, which play a vital role in the management of various skin and mucosal disorders, providing targeted and effective treatment options for patients.

This Special Issue focuses on recent studies that aim to develop and evaluate topical formulations as well as their biomedical applications. Both research and review articles are welcome.
