Official Title: COEBICS: Comparison of Erythema Between Interrupted and Continuous Sutures

Brief Summary: This is a randomized, controlled, prospective study which relies on computer-assisted skin image processing of scar photographs, to establish whether simple interrupted or running sutures are associated with the greatest degree of erythema when used to repair surgical defects arising from Moh's micrographic surgery (MMS) of facial skin cancers. Furthermore, through the use of the customized software that the investigators have developed for this purpose, an effort will be made to better understand the evolution (including progression and subsequent regression) of erythema over time in these scars.
