Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma

In brief

The investigators hypothesize that everting wound edges while suturing surgical sites will result in more aesthetic scars. Additionally, we also hypothesize that small to moderate wound irregularities present at 3 months will resolve by 6 months after surgery with no intervention
