ABSTRACT
Persistent skin condition called psoriasis is characterized by the redness of skin. It is pertinentlyconnected to aberrant immune cell– keratinocyte (KC) cross reactivity. Manypsoriasis sufferers are unhappy with their existing treatment regimens and the way the medication is administered. The patients express their displeasure about excessive viscosity of the preparation, bad odour, and skin irritation. The causes of these problems should be connected to patients following their doctors’ instructions, such as those regarding the regular application of the preparation, as well as the therapy’s lack of effectiveness due to the drug’s poor penetration of the skin. The preparation’s physicochemical form, as well as its rheological and mechanical properties, are directly related to both of these criteria. It is crucial to learn about the particular drug type and how it affects a therapy’s safety and effectiveness as well as the patients’ comfort while being applied. Hydrogels are essential in biomedical applications because of their unique qualities, which include superabsorbancy, viscoelasticity, softness, fluffiness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. The purpose of this review is to present a brief concept of hydrogel, it’s unique features, classification and advantages. This review also discusses herbal extract loaded hydrogel for psoriasis.
