AnotationSkin diseases are today a widespread phenomenon in a wide variety of populations. The most common current skin diseases include psoriasis, atopic eczema or acne. Commonly used substances (such as corticosteroids) for the treatment of these diseases are in many cases not long-lasting and, over time, the skin acquires resistance to these substances. The knowledge gained and presented in this work can point to other ways of treating skin diseases. The work will focus on the antibacterial and antimycotic effects of polar substances (acharan sulfate, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, mytimacin-AF, mucin) or apolar substances found in the slime of the gastropods (Achatina reticulata, Helix aspersa maxima).
