Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore alternative methods of postoperative pain control in Mohs micrographic surgery. The main aims are: * To provide more information to the Mohs surgery community regarding postoperative pain control. * Reducing pain improves the overall comfort and well-being of patients, leading to a better post-operative experience. * To provide patients with an alternative and potentially superior NSAID for pain control (compared to standard-of-care ibuprofen). Researchers will compare 1) a single of dose Meloxicam 7.5 mg, followed by acetaminophen 500 mg; 2) a single dose of Meloxicam 15 mg, followed by acetaminophen 500 mg; 3) a single dose of acetaminophen 500 mg, followed by alternating ibuprofen 200 mg and acetaminophen 500 mg to see which better moderate pain control and patient satisfaction. Participants will be asked to complete pain and patient satisfaction surveys.
