Timolol drops for faster healing of skin surgery wounds
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a topical beta-blocker (timolol) can speed up healing of skin wounds left open after surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve healing for people who choose not to have reconstructive surgery.
