This is on the basis that they are normally not life threatening, but they are a major issue all over the world in terms of appearance. Some examples of skin diseases are Eczema, bacterial infections, fungal/yeast infections, viral infections, parasitic infections, autoimmune disease, and other skin diseases. The bark of the plant Tecoma stans are used medicinally for the treatment of several skin and fungal infections.

Different batches viz., FC1 to FC5 were prepared using different ratio of ingredients and were evaluated.
