Summary

This study tests four different numbing medicines (lidocaine, bupivacaine, chlorprocaine, and mepivacaine) to see which one causes the least pain when re-injected during Mohs skin cancer surgery. About 400 adults having Mohs surgery will rate their pain on a 1-10 scale. The goal is to find the most comfortable option for patients.
