Be Sun-Smart in Chicago: Protecting Your Skin with Harper Health's Concierge Medicine

In a vibrant city like Chicago, we are often blessed with abundant sunshine. As we bask under the Windy City's pleasantly warm rays, it is easy to forget the insidious threat that lurks behind this radiant energy – skin cancer. At Harper Health, we understand that prevention is better than cure, and thus we offer top-quality skin cancer screenings as a part of our concierge medicine offerings.

The Silent Epidemic of Skin Cancer

While skin cancer might not always be at the forefront of our discussions about health, its prevalence is alarming. It is, in fact, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. Regular skin cancer screenings can help in early detection and significantly improve the survival rate.

Why Harper Health's Skin Cancer Screenings?

At Harper Health, we go beyond basic care. Our concierge medicine approach ensures that you get individual attention, comprehensive services, and easy access to health care resources. We understand that your time is valuable, and strive to provide swift and efficient services, including our skin cancer screenings.

Tips for Skin Self-Examination

While regular screenings at Harper Health are essential, it is also important for everyone to adopt the habit of self-examining their skin:

1. Know Your Skin

Keep a close eye on any new moles or growths, and any existing growths that begin to grow or change significantly.

2. Follow the ABCDE rule

A for Asymmetry, B for Border irregularities, C for Color variations, D for Diameter (larger than 6mm is alarming), and E for Evolution of the mole should be monitored.

3. Seek Professional Help

Should you notice something suspicious, schedule an appointment at Harper Health for a professional skin exam. Remember, early detection is key.
