Website Application Based Education and Text Messaging in Improving Skin Wound Care in Patients Undergoing Mohs Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Malignant Skin Neoplasm

In brief

This randomized clinical trial studies how well website application (web app) based education and text messaging works in improving skin wound care in patients undergoing Mohs surgery (a surgical procedure used to treat skin cancer). Website application and text messaging based education may help patients stick to wound care instructions before and after surgery, lower anxiety level, and may help monitor their activity.
