Honey possesses antibacterial, anti‐inflammatory, and healing properties that benefit wound healing and tissue regeneration. For centuries, honey has been utilized in traditional medicine as a binder or vehicle for creams and lotions and also for therapeutic purposes. The overuse of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents leading to drug resistance has emphasized the resurgence of honey's application in wound care. For many dermatological disorders, there is an interest in developing therapeutics with fewer side effects than traditional therapies and enhanced wound healing abilities to expedite tissue regeneration. This paper reviews the properties and components of honey that contribute to its wound‐healing‐based applications, the types of honey employed in medicine, and its dermatological applications. Based on the evidence from case reports, clinical trials, and in vitro studies, honey has been characterized as a safe, cost‐effective, and readily available treatment option for many skin conditions, including microbial infections, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, necrotizing fasciitis, ulcers, as well as thermal and other types of wounds.
