<div>Nanotechnology is a growing interdisciplinary field which has been</div><div>exploited in many areas of healthcare. Treatment of burn wounds through</div><div>phytochemically-assisted metallic nanoparticles is one such aspect of nanotechnology.</div><div>Metallic nanoparticles are known to cause various harmful effects on intact skin. They</div><div>are known to cross the skin barrier, penetrate deeper layers, and sometimes even reach</div><div>the blood circulation. In case of damaged skin like burn wounds, the skin losses its</div><div>protective functions, thereby enhancing penetration of metallic nanoparticles. This</div><div>chapter deals with the introduction to the skin structure, degree of burn wounds and the</div><div>toxic effects caused by phytochemically-assisted metallic nanoparticles along with their</div><div>mechanism.</div>
