Abstract
Viral skin infections pose a significant health concern worldwide, causing discomfort, pain, and potential complications. The development of effective treatments for these infections is crucial in minimizing their impact on individuals’ quality of life. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential use of copper nanoparticles as a novel therapeutic approach. Copper nanoparticles exhibit unique antimicrobial properties and have shown promise in combating various pathogens. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of copper nanoparticles in treating viral skin infections, providing a comprehensive assessment of their potential as an alternative or complementary treatment modality. By synthesizing available evidence, this study aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding the use of copper nanoparticles in dermatology and guide future research and clinical practice in this field.
