There is currently no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-indicated treatment for POD; however, broad-spectrum antibiotics are efficacious as a treatment option.

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) delayed by more than one year leads to increased risk of complications, including bleeding and impaired wound healing, especially in the elderly population. To decrease bleeding risks, we have developed a modified MMS technique known as the \"rim and deep margin\" technique.
