Findings
This review found that recombinant human EGF (a lab-made version of a natural growth factor) shows promise for wound healing and may help with radiation burns, eczema flares, aging skin, and dark spots. However, the research is still limited—there aren't nearly enough studies yet to call it proven for most of these uses beyond basic wound care.
