Abstract
Any patient who survives a large burn injury will be left with some degree of scarring. As well as affecting the form and function of the skin, scarring can have severe psychological consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression 1. This is particularly the case for hypertrophic or keloid scars, which are common after serious burns. Despite this, the process underlying their formation is incompletely understood and limited effective options are available for their treatment. This paper reviews current understanding of the pathophysiology of the wound healing process in relation to burns and reviews the current management for burn wounds.
