TLDR Bee venom can improve various skin conditions, including varicose veins and psoriasis, and has anti-aging benefits.
The document discussed the therapeutic uses of bee venom, which has been known since antiquity for its varied physiological effects. In dermatology, bee venom has been shown to be effective in treating psoriasis, varicose veins, and cutaneous varicosities by accelerating blood flow velocity, removing spasms in peripheral vessels, and decreasing blood clotting. It also has potential in treating pigment disorders by regulating melanogenesis. Other studies have shown its effectiveness in treating and preventing eczema and atopic dermatitis, improving acne lesions, treating onychomycosis, and regulating the immune system. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects suggest it could be useful in treating dermatoses with fibrosating properties. While its use in cancer treatment is limited and controversial, it has been shown to cure some benign skin tumors. Bee venom is also used in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine.
