Summary

This study tested whether a gel containing timolol, a drug usually used for glaucoma, can improve healing and appearance of full-thickness skin grafts after skin cancer removal. The trial planned to enroll 82 adults but was terminated early with only 10 participants. The goal was to see if the gel speeds up wound closure and improves scar quality compared to standard care.
