The effects of suture selection on postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in patients with skin of color who have had Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) are limited. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fast-absorbing gut sutures reduced the need for in-person follow-up visits without increasing the frequency of postoperative complications. Although absorbable gut sutures are popular, they are highly reactive and can induce inflammation in patients with skin of color. Choosing less inflammatory, nonabsorbable sutures can improve the cosmetic outcome for patients with skin of color who undergo MMS.
