“…GFs may provide many benefits in the treatment of burns by accelerating epidermal regeneration, stimulating the proliferation of both epidermis and follicles, accelerating angiogenesis and maturing the extracellular matrix. However, currently, when it comes to the treatment strategy for burn wounds, much more attention is paid to the use of plateletrich plasma and growth factor-rich plasma instead of the use of biosynthetic GFs [330,331].…”

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 11 million people suffer from burns every year, and 180,000 die from them. A burn is a condition in which heat, chemical substances, an electrical current or other factors cause tissue damage. Burns mainly affect the skin, but can also affect deeper tissues such as bones or muscles. When burned, the skin loses its main functions, such as protection from the external environment, pathogens, evaporation and heat loss. Depending on the stage of the burn, the patient’s condition and the cause of the burn, we need to choose the most appropriate treatment. Personalization and multidisciplinary collaboration are key to the successful management of burn patients. In this comprehensive review, we have collected and discussed the available treatment options, focusing on recent advances in topical treatments, wound cleansing, dressings, skin grafting, nutrition, pain and scar tissue management.
