The Effect of Bacterial Decolonization Before Skin Cancer Surgery on Infection Rate of Lower Extremity Wounds Left Open to Heal

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if reducing bacterial load on the skin and nostrils with topical antibacterial soap and ointment, respectively, reduces rate of infection in surgical sites on lower leg wounds left open to heal in adults undergoing skin cancer surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Does Hibiclens antibacterial skin cleanser and mupirocin antibacterial ointment applied to nostrils prior to surgery lower the number of times participants develop an infection in their open wound on the lower leg? Researchers will compare the treatment group to the standard of care, which involves no treatment prior to surgery, to see if topical antibiotics applied prior to surgery affect infection rates between the two groups. Participants randomized to the treatment group will: Shower with Hibiclens once daily for 5 days prior to the day of surgery and apply mupiroc
