Your skin type may predict how well you heal after surgery
NCT ID NCT07384299
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 173 Chinese patients to see if their skin type (based on the Baumann Skin Type system) affects how well they heal and scar after facial surgery for benign growths like moles or cysts. Researchers checked wound healing at 7 days and scar quality at 90 days using standard scales. The goal is to understand if skin type can help predict healing outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict healing outcomes based on skin type and personalize post-surgery care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other populations or skin types outside the study group.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged between 14 and 60 years. * Clinically and postoperatively pathologically diagnosed with a facial benign tumor (e.g., melanocytic nevus, sebaceous cyst, seborrheic keratosis, etc.) and having undergone standard surgical treatment. * Voluntary participation in this study with written informed consent obtained. * Commitment to comply with all study protocols and to complete all follow-up visits and data collection procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically or postoperatively diagnosed with a facial malignant tumor. * Wounds requiring staged excision or planned for secondary intention healing. * Surgical site located on or adjacent to the mucosal surface. * Known history of allergy to any medications or dressings to be used during or after surgery. * Presence of systemic diseases that significantly impair wound healing (e.g., poorly controlled diabetes, immunodeficiency disorders, active infections). * Current use of medications affecting wound healing or scar formation (e.g., long-term systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressants). * Pregnancy or lactation. * Refusal to provide written informed consent, or anticipated inability to comply with study follow-up and data collection. * Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial. * Any other condition deemed by the investigator as likely to interfere with study results or increase participant risk.
