Preventing microbial colonization or infections that cause offensive smells may lead to odor reduction. As both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria cause the release of malodor from wounds, the most direct way of avoiding or eliminating wound odor is to prevent or eradicate the responsible infection through the debridement of necrotic tissues. However, some burn patients with malodorous wounds are unable to undergo debridement due to systemic conditions, especially in the acute stage. Moreover, the optimal drug doses and dressings to ensure the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of odorous burn wound management is unclear. The purpose of this commentary is to outline the odor management options available for burn patients, focusing on topical strategies. Numerous potential therapies for treating odorous wounds after burn injuries are suggested.
