Summary of the potential effects of minor cannabinoids in various dermatological diseases.
| Dermatological Diseases | Cannabinoid | Potential Mechanism of Action | Literature | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Psoriasis | CBN CBC Ajulemic acid | Inhibition of excessive keratinocyte divisions; inhibition of the proliferation of keratinocytes; inhibition of the signaling of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway; inhibition of the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory mediators; increasing the synthesis of 15d-PGJ2—prostaglandins; the mechanism of action is the suppression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) | [13,40,41] | 
| Acne | CBDV CBC THCV WIN-55,212-2 Ajulemic acid | Reduction in the production of sebum; inhibition of the growth of bacteria C. acnes; regulation of the secretion of sebum; anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties | [47,48,49,50,51] | 
| Atopic Dermatitis (AD) | CBG CBDV | The ability to inhibit the action of enzymes responsible for the synthesis of fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid, antibacterial and antifungal activity; the ability to inhibit the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 and 17A | [57,58,59,60,61,62] | 
| Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACZ) | CBD THC | Relieving the symptoms of ACZ by reducing inflammation and itching of the skin | [64,65,66] | 
| Anti-inflamatory (requires further detailed research) | CBM CBE | Inhibition of pro-inflammatory biomarkers | [67,68] |
