This review explores the potential of camphor, a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, in the prevention and treatment of skin infections. Camphor exhibits anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antifungal properties, making it a promising candidate for use in dermatological therapies. It is used in various forms, including oils, lotions, and ointments, to support skin healing and prevent infections. Camphor is also found in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products for its antimicrobial and soothing effects. However, it is toxic in high doses and should be used cautiously, preferably in diluted form. The review discusses the chemical properties, production methods, and biological activities of camphor, as well as its metabolism and interactions with other drugs. It also highlights the antimicrobial activity of camphor against bacteria and fungi involved in skin infections, particularly drug-resistant strains. The study emphasizes the potential of camphor in supporting the treatment of skin infections, including atopic dermatitis, and its role in preventing secondary infections. Despite its benefits, the use of camphor requires careful consideration due to its potential toxicity and side effects. The review concludes that camphor has significant potential in the treatment of skin infections, but further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and applications.This review explores the potential of camphor, a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, in the prevention and treatment of skin infections.
