Cannabidiol in Dermatology: Proposed Mechanism of Action and Potential Medication Interactions

Brittany M Snyder et al. Skinmed. .

Abstract

In the setting of increasing patient-reported cannabidiol (CBD) usage in the dermatologic setting, it is of great importance that clinicians become aware of potential medication interactions that may arise from cannabidiol usage in order to ensure safe and efficacious medication therapy. This brief review aimed to bring awareness to the mechanism of CBD while highlighting potential interactions between CBD and medication therapy for commonly encountered dermatologic conditions, including acne, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, pruritus, skin aging, skin cancer, and psoriasis.
