TLDR Bee venom, fig, and geranium oil can effectively treat skin conditions and are safer alternatives to some conventional drugs.
This paper reviews the potential therapeutic applications of bee venom (BV), Ficus carica (FC), and Geranium essential oil (GEO) in treating various skin conditions due to their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. These natural products are considered as alternatives to conventional drugs like corticosteroids, which can have side effects with long-term use. The study highlights the effectiveness of BV, FC, and GEO in conditions such as vitiligo, melasma, and melanoma, and their use in dermatological conditions in diabetic patients. The paper also examines the safety of topical applications of these natural agents and explores new approaches to their use.
