Honey dressings have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and promote autolytic debridement. This osmotic effect may cause pain and analgesia may be required. Patients with diabetes should have their control monitored whilst using topical honey, especially when applied to large areas. Honey dressings should be avoided in patients with extreme sensitivities to honey, bee stings or bee products.
