Summary
This study tests whether spraying a cooling liquid (ethyl chloride) on the skin before a numbing injection can reduce pain during Mohs surgery for skin cancer. About 80 adults will have half their surgical site pre-cooled and the other half not, then rate the pain of each injection. The goal is to find a simple way to make the procedure more comfortable.
